章節 638: HOPING FOR IT ALL THE SAME

AS they walked past the greenhouses, Astrid explained everything they were seeing. In one greenhouse, vegetables were planted in neat, orderly rows, their leaves a deep, healthy green. In another, patches of herbs, like basil and rosemary, filled the air with a strong, fresh scent. Outside, leafy greens swayed gently in the light breeze sweeping across the open fields. Astrid pointed out that everything was planted by hand, with each row carefully spaced to give the plants room to thrive.

The group continued to walk past clusters of fruit trees, their branches heavy with ripe fruits. Vines of beans and peas climbed up simple wooden poles, their tendrils wrapped tightly around the supports. Straw covered the ground around the plants, keeping moisture in and weeds out.
