Okay lets start I guess :P

1/3
Blitz's POV:

     I never really thought plants were that interesting at all. Even now, when dating the bird brain who couldn't go a day without talking about everything interesting he knows about them. I'll admit there are some things I didn't know about them that surprised me, like did you know that the plants can sense gravity, and know what time it is. 

Regardless, I don't really care about them all that much. I'd help Stolas garden by handing him the stuff he needed, but other than that I didn't interact much with them. Until today. Stolas had been asking me for the past month if I'd help him plant these new flowers that he'd gotten. I don't really have the greenest thumb, so I was hesitant on helping.

Once when Barbie and me were kids, she had been growing some kind of flower, and one day she asked me to water it for her, and I killed it. By accident. 

But he insisted that I would do fine and he'd help me. So I finally agreed. He had gotten me certain clothing to wear while gardening so I was comfortable and could get dirty in them. He had gotten me a pair of green overalls and green boots to wear. It was hot and muggy that day, so neither of us bothered with putting on shirts underneath. 

Stolas had a pair of blue overalls, purple boots, and he had a hat on too. He had gotten us both a pair of gardening gloves to wear while getting in the dirt. 

"Can you pass me the spade Blitz?" Stolas asked while I was opening the bag of seeds. I looked over at the gardening tools and stared hard at all of them. 

"Uhh, which one?" I asked. He looked over at me and the tools. 

"The small round shovel." He said and pointed it out. 

"Oh okay." I replied and handed it to him while he dug in the dirt for the seeds. "How long do they take to grow?" I asked. 

"Well these ones are fairly rapidly growing perennials. Depending on the variety, you will usually see blooms in their first year of growth. However, the quantity and size of blooms will be less impressive than those displayed at maturity, which takes 3 to 4 years on average." He explained in a matter of fact kind of way. 

"So?" I asked feeling really dumb. 

"They'll start to bloom in their first year, but they're more pretty when you wait 3 to 4 years." He put simply while wiping his forehead. 

"Oh okay." I said and grabbed the watering can. 

"We don't use that quite yet Blitzy. Once we put the seeds in the holes and cover them back up, then we can water them okay?" He said focused on making the dugouts perfect. 

"We put the what in the what?" I asked for him to repeat. 

"The seeds in the holes." Stolas repeated and stopped in his tracks to look at me after the words left his beak. 

"Come again?" I asked with a smirk. 

"Shut up." He laughed and lightly pushed me. "Ready to plant the seeds?" He asked and pointed at the bag. 

"I guess. How deep do they need to be?" I asked. 

"Well I have a four-inch plant pot and we filled it with sterile soil. So we need to plant the seeds about one-quarter inch deep. That's why the pot is in a very bright area. We'll keep the soil moist. The seeds should germinate in about two to six weeks." He explained. 

"So?" I asked again. 

"The seeds need to be about one-quarter inch deep in the holes." He said. 

"That's not very deep." I said. "Are we sure we don't want to go deeper?" I asked with another smirk.
