dictated/action- A hobbit and his vegetables

[unexpected_adventures]

[Filtered to Brock]

My name is Bilbo Baggins and I wish to plant some potato and carrot plants within the soil here.

Spike, advised me to speak with you, regarding planting of vegetables within the castle grounds. I spoke with him first and he says that you know a great deal about plants and flowers. Could you perhaps give me some advice in the area? I will be very much grateful. Thank you.

[To everyone]

If anyone knows where the best places to plant both potato and carrot plants within the castle grounds, please contact me. I hope to harvest them for either soup, pie or possible another use. I just wondered if there are any other people within the castle with green fingers, apart from Brock. A man called Spike recommended that I speak with him on the matter. Hobbits love planting vegetables, growing and eating them, so it's only natural for me.

I don't understand how any of you can be so used to your world changing around you, for better or for worse. While I do understand that many here have dealt with this for almost years on end now, and while I do understand that this is a volatile world to begin with, how can you find yourselves settling in in spite of the circumstances?

Are we simply placed in favorable conditions even in spite of the dangers? Why are we not easily targeted? I'm sure many of us were less than subtle, even if we were dressed the part.
