H&H Reality: My Next Endeavour

Post by Projeear »

Harro again. Some of you may remember me from the Cone Cow I made IRL, as well as the magical pheasant feather I found.

Well, here goes another Haven and Hearth experience in reality.

I went to town today, because I needed to post a letter. On my way back, I accidentally picked up the below (Foraging/Stealing, anybody?):

Hurr.

Hurr hurr.

About a half-foot deep, half-foot long, and a hand's width wide. Considering the carrot is a root plant, I thought it important to remove any stones below - and there was alot! I then refilled and sivved for about an hour, by hand, to remove things that I had dug up, such as; stones, coal, worms, drone ants and a strange coin I forgot about, and need to retrieve (Turned out to be a penny from 1996. Not that Exclamation-worthy).

(Also two potted Cucumber plants, but they're not in Haven and Hearth, so let's ignore them. :3


Oh, and then the postman arrived. That was quick. WIN. £83.96 D:

Our soil is about as infertile and cheap as it comes - not to mention this is my first outdoor planting, I usually stick to pots.
Grew some Basil last year... on my last dried leaf now :'(.

@Opening Post: I shall trade you 5 HQ Beetroot's for the next harvest of Carrots =3

Nice topic btw, turning a IRL into a video-game :P

P.S. You might want to place a stake on those crops, someone might come along and steal them :? ( Happened to me ~3 times in-game :( )

Yah, I looked at that line when I had it "Video-game into IRL", but it somehow looked funny to me :|
