[Some might recognize one of the Row houses behind Eliot Kenneth as he's concentrating really hard on the PCD. Given the first mutterings, the concentration was clearly needed just to get the network post started. The fact that he's shirtless, in the rain, is probably related to the shovel he's leaning on.]

Right, so, I was wondering if there's anything about the land that needs concern towards if one wanted to start growing their own food here. Any help would be appreciated, and I'd be willing to exchange services for it. Cooking, hard labor, hunting if you need the meat. It'd be much appreciated.

My girlfriend and I are trying to start a garden, but it's not easy here.

As for suggestions? Grow inside. Twice now since I've been here, people with gardens have lost them due to flooding. You'll probably have the best luck if you can make a greenhouse, or plant on higher ground.

I'll add to Sokka's advice. On top of the lower grounds being at risk of flooding, the earth there will have the highest concentration of waste from the last few floods, as they were absorbed into it. For some time the city was coated with dark mud- worse than the stuff out there today. I wouldn't willingly eat anything planted in that stuff.

Shelter whatever you plant. It's rained pastries before.

Keeping a farm sounds like a good idea.

Do you have a lot of skill in those areas?
