Ozwald II's day:
I did what I could with crops today, but the fields we "inherited" were mostly non-food crops. Hemp, hops, tobacco, poppies, tea. There is wheat, but until we have an oven, it doesn't do us much good.
A couple of the fields will have to be reclaimed by converting them to grasslands before they can be plowed, I started on that as well. Gives a use for the hemp at least, and I replanted some for the next phase. I replanted the poppies for the curios, as well as the tea because there was only a little of it anyway. I replanted the hops because I really didn't have a place to put them at the time, and I'd not realized they were hops plants before I had my inventory filled. I didn't bother with the tobacco, or half the wheat.
I did plant some actual food though. Please, please please do not eat the carrots or peas if you harvest them (for that matter, please do not harvest them unless you are Girlinhat or me...) they need to be used to replant for a generation or two, we do not have enough. There is a good size beetroot field that we inherited, however. Once it's properly sprouted, we'll get a good portion of food from that, at the very least the leaves are edible even if we replant all the beets. I didn't bother with the peppercorns, I'm not sure if they're any good uncooked.
However, I am getting really hungry so I stopped working this afternoon. Fishing needs to be a priority food source again, or I'll drop dead from starvation trying to grow food for us.
I'll be checking in shortly to see how things have gone horribly wrong.
I am nervous about the neighbors, but willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I have my eye on them, though.
