Who: Frodo and YOU!
What: fail gardening
When: morning of April 4
Where: by the orchard
Rating: PG

It is warm enough now that Frodo can walk about barefooted without worrying that he might lose both legs to the frost. He remembers how Sam would start his planting at around this time of the year, just when the seasons turn and the sweet smell of spring is almost here. But not quite.

There is a tin bucket of flower bulbs some ways from the apple tree, set beside the small crouched figure digging little holes into the ground with his hands. He has a pile of pulled weeds and rocks on his other side, having cleared a small patch there for his makeshift garden. Planting the bulbs confuses him though. Which way is up and how deep should it go?

Times like these, more than ever, makes him wish Sam were here to give him all sorts of wise advice, and not only for gardening. He can already imagine one hundred and one quips from the hobbit. But his friend isn't here, yet, so Frodo just keeps squinting at the bulb, hoping some revelation will miraculously come to him eventually.

Yeah...okay...so how's your little plant going? Anything happen yet?

So uhh...how long have you been stuck in this place anyway?

Just a month. Not really as long as yours but I'm pretty bored already.

Books, not thanks, I might just run them and I'd hate that kind of responsibility. But I have no issues with helping you out with your gardening, I just don't have a green thumb...

[He does a thumbs up and just stares at his thumb for a bit]

It's more black than anything...maybe slightly blood red.

Alright then Mr. Frodo, you've got yourself a gardening buddy.
