Don't you work for those people who are supposed to have been keeping an eye on the City? :sherlock:

No. That's Drogue.

I work for the people who investigate how and why people like Drogue screwed up, or take over when people like Drogue screw up.

Business is booming.

[notyoueither]

So, Drogue is a first-class screw up?

No debt except for my mortgage, on a house and nine acres I bought last March.

I hope to put that acreage to good use. This year I plan to put in a large number of tomato plants, along with a variety of peppers. I'll also put in a lot of fruit trees if I can afford it, primarily Montmorency cherry trees, some sweet cherry varieties, and a mix of apples, plums, and pears.

I will try to set up some beehives next year.

I think this is a good start for him. He's got a banana resource.

When I opened my BPI account they gave me a calendar too! So the plantation is already underway. (I wasn't planning on building Stonehenge anyways...)



The bananas that were already there were being choked by brush, so we cleared out the slope. This is the area cleared the first day by Rey (NetNet's papa) and 3 other workers. The clearing took 21 worker turns total:





The majority of the area is on the flat up at the top of the slope, and almost all of it has only been used for grazing recently. (There was a cornfield at some point in the past.) Such a shame to have unimproved tiles, especially when there's so many workers around who need the work



The plantation owner and a couple of her siblings, up on top of the slope:



And down on the slope, with some bananas even:



And it has fresh water



Will be a trick getting the water up to the top. Might be able to run a pipe from further up the wash. The water table up top seems pretty high, there's some small bogs here and there even. will have to see what it's like later in the year when it's not raining so much. A decent sea breeze as it's the highest point on it's line between 2 bays, so maybe a well and windmill will do the trick.

It's clear that the developing world needs more civ'in.

It would seem that the toughest part of Aeson's deal would be to buy adjacent pieces of land of reasonable quality.

[notyoueither]

Yeah. The neighbours have likely been there long enough to withstand a warrior rush.

He'll likely have to try a nice, peaceful, buildery strategy.
