Part 226: Kellam C

*Cough*

WAH! Gosh, Kellam, you 'bout near killed me just now! Where the heck'd ya come from?!

You're planting bilberry bushes, aren't you? They're my favourite crop. You know, if you mix the soil with clover and pig dung, the berries get extra juicy.

Shuck my corn! I never knew you was a farmer!

Well, my father tilled the soil, but my brothers and I helped out in the fields. If you want, I could help you out, too.

That's a mighty kind offer, Kellam! I'd surely 'preciate it! I'm plantin' the bushes in pots so's I can move 'em about, but there's just so many... Folks think berry pickin's a doddle, but they're dead wrong.

It's been a while since I mucked around in the soil. Truth is, I kind of miss it.

Well, I'm much obliged. You mind startin' on them pots in the stores tent?

Goodness, that's an awful lot of bilberry bushes! There must be... hundreds.

Seein' as how they're so popular, I wanted to make sure I had enough for everyone.

*Sigh* Welp, guess I'd better get to work...
