whateveryoueatliveitspart[The feed comes on to show a forest, mostly clear of snow save for some stubborn drifts that have taken shelter beneath the evergreens. Exactly where this is isn't clear, though the music is that of the Lake of Rage, so that at least gives a general area. Apollo's voice comes from off-camera.]
It's almost spring now. I think that spring is my favorite season. You don't need to shelter from the cold and snow all the time and you can watch all the plants start to bud and the seeds sprout after being buried under the snow. Everything's beginning fresh. The best part about this spring though is that it's warm enough again that I don't have to wear shoes anymore. My feet have been sore wearing boots all the time, even worse than just putting on shoes to go into a store or work at the Pokémon Center. Covering your feet makes sense if you're going out in the snow, but I still don't understand why people keep wanting me to wear shoes to come inside where the floors aren't cold, or why anyone would want shoes to have such thick bottoms. I can't feel the ground when I'm wearing shoes and they seem like they're shaped to make me walk differently. They aren't comfortable.

Once it gets warmer and the ground softens, I'm going to try planting some of the berries that I got from the berry orchard in Pallet Town. They're supposed to need to be kept warm all the time in something called a "hothouse". They don't look like they're hard to make. I'll just need to find materials to make them out of. I can probably find something useful in Goldenrod City.
I think I've figured out what kinds of places the berry plants on the routes grow best in, but the people at the berry orchard couldn't tell me much about where the plants that they were growing grow naturally. Has anyone else tried to grow berries?

Date: 2013-03-14 12:44 am (UTC)Before the winter I was traveling around so that the Pokémon who are with me could challenge some of the gyms and I could get some of the HMs. I'll probably travel some more to see other places now that it's spring, but I like having a place to come back to.

Date: 2013-03-14 02:57 am (UTC)As long as I make sure that everything they need is nearby they should be fine. Plants can take care of themselves. If they couldn't, then there wouldn't be forests. I'm just not sure if I know everything that they need. I think I do, but there's no way for me to know yet, especially for the plants that I haven't seen growing on the routes.

Date: 2013-03-14 03:47 am (UTC)So the place you got the seeds from wouldn't tell you?

Date: 2013-03-14 03:53 am (UTC)They only knew about how to grow them with humans taking care of them all the time, not how they grow on their own.

Date: 2013-03-14 04:58 am (UTC)...that's really weird, wouldn't they have to know how they grow in nature before they can grow their own?

Date: 2013-03-14 05:04 am (UTC)Maybe they weren't the people who figured out how to grow them? Someone else could have figured it out and told them how to grow it themselves, but didn't tell them how they grow in the wild.

Date: 2013-03-16 03:37 pm (UTC)Maybe they don't want other people to be cultivating the same plants.
