Harvest for our lives! (video/action)

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin is standing at the eastern edge of the Orchard, whose branches are green-leaved and some heavy with fruit. One of the firetrucks is parked behind him. Nearby are tables stacked with baskets and boxes, for the collection of fruit, plus vegetables, herbs and other edible plants that are growing in gardens amongst the trees. Another table is covered with dishes of food and glasses of wine and other beverages, refreshments for the workers. (This post is backdated to May 21.) ]

A few days ago Dr. Sweets was talking to the community about organizing supplies for the upcoming relocation to another planet. Various efforts are now underway.

At the moment, we are harvesting the Orchard for anything that can be stored or cached, in case the trees are damaged in the move or the new planet's climate is cold or hot enough to kill off the trees and plants.

The Fire Brigade is volunteering a fire engine to be a transport vehicle for whatever we collect today and in the next few days. We need to get the produce to locations where it can be stored safely.

And for that, we need some locations! Would anybody like to volunteer or suggest some?

We could use some more help with the picking, too! Everybody welcome! We have food and drink for you -- harvesting is thirsty work, and hungry work.

I understand that some of you have gardens here in the Orchard. We won't touch your plants without your permission. Just let us know. If you are donating your produce, we'll help pick it, if you like.

Oh! The bakery has a very large storage space beneath it. You are welcome to use it.

I can help if you need some. I need something useful to do and my hostling would appreciate me in a garden.

I'm happy to help out. It can't be that much different than harvesting strawberries at Camp.

We should probably leave at least one cache near each of the housing complexes, in case we're cut off from each other when we land.

[Fingon replies, coming in with a large basket of peppers under his arm]

Should we consider drying or pickling them as well?

You know you need but ask.

[ Maglor comes up behind to ruffle Curufin's hair. ]

Where do you need me little brother?

[ Dear Sweet Eru but it's nice to be able to talk again ]

I am on my way, Atar. I fear I overslept! (Nightmares fatigue him during the night and he needs more rest than his kin because of them - and because of the shape of his body.) The healing herbs will need to be cut carefully. I will bring a satchel for them.
