It was one of those days, it was clearly the end of winter, but it wasn't quite warm enough to be considered spring or summer. On your way to Greenhouse Three you stomp and slush through muddy puddles where the grass has grown thin and the dirt is exposed. The sky overhead is cloudy but the chances of rain are slim. No.. what the sky does hold is hope for the warmer days to come.
Inside Greenhouse Three you find that the Busy Bee had been rather successful. Everything was neat and orderly, even if there were no plants in here as yet. So why would Bentley be holding a lesson in an empty Greenhouse? Hhhmmm I wonder.
The focus of the Greenhouse is on the long raised flowerbed that runs down the middle of the space. Empty plant hangers swing slightly from the ceiling as a chilly breeze drifts through.
Professor Bentley isn't here yet, but she won't be long.
OOC: The lesson has officially started, do NOT announce your late arrival unless you want to lose points. Just pretend as if you were there all along. If you haven't done so already then please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations and the SS Site Rules. All SS Board Rules apply. IC rule breaking will result in IC punishment, OOC rule breaking will result in OOC punishment. Please behave appropriately and most importantly... have fun. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a PM.
Now that the roots are clean, Janice put in the puffapod plant inside the hole. Then, she put the soil she had dug out earlier inside it. She patted the soil, not too much, with the professor's voice booming in her head. Pat it down gently, but not too hard, the aim is to tuck it in, not smother and suffocate it.

Beezus nodded, listened attentively and watched with utmost concentration as Professor Seren gave them the instructions on how to plant their puffapods while she demonstrated it.. That should be just a piece of cake, she thought. The young Ravenclaw had already done planting before, though it was her first time to plant a Puffapod she was certain that everything would go accordingly as planned.
After the Professor's demo, she put on her gloves.. Stretching it carefully up to her wrists.
Then she held her spade and started digging. "Professor Seren said that it should be approximately one foot deep." She said as she dug the spade on the loose soil.
Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig.
"That should do it." She measured the hole with the use of her hands, estimating the length of a foot. The hole wasn't too deep nor too shallow. Just the appropriate depth and space.
After patting the soil, she took out her wand from the foldings of her robes, carefully not to took out Egg and sent it across the greenhouse; it would be a disaster if Egg rolled around here, knocking people off the floor and tickling ankles while they're doing the vital part of this activity
.
"Aguamenti!" That is one useful spell she had learned in Potions.
Not too much, she said in her heart, not too much, there.

Things were...quiet...peaceful...and there was a lovely floral scent on the air that reminded her of the gardens back home, only sweeter and more potent. However, everything was dark...really dark. That certainly didn't seem to match the aura that the smell was providing. It should be bright and spring-like instead of looking like it was the middle of the night. Night? Wait...that didn't make sense...Astronomy was the only lesson that she knew of that was at night time and she certainly wasn't in that now. She was in Herbology watering her...

Kurumi's eyes shot open and they darted around the greenhouse. Several students were filing out and it was clear that several had already done so having finished the task. Her violet gaze then drifted to her hand that still was holding her wand and she was relieved to see that the dripping had stopped most likely due to her slight dozing off but she was even more relieved to see that the mound was nice and moist having been perfectly watered. Still, she would apologize to Professor Bentley before she left, it was still rude to fall asleep for however how brief in class.
Returning her wand to her robe's pocket, Kurumi sort of stumbled over to her desk to retrieve her small bucket of hippogriff dung and began to sprinkle it over the mound, padding things down a bit here and there, until all the fertilizer was gone. Clapping her hands together to remove any excess dung, Kurumi removed her gloves and searched her pockets for her check list before crossing off the step she had just completed.

What? Did Kurumi just fall asleep? Or was it just her eyes indicating that the lioness prefect was closing her eyes? Seriously? In the middle of planting a Puffapod plant?
Okay. None of my business.
Heaving a sigh, Beatrice stood up and approached her own purple puffapod plant. It was still looking attractive as ever but the dryness of its surface clearly meant that it needed to be planted right away. And with that, the first year Eaglet held the plant carefully and gently shook its roots. You can just imagine bits of soil flying around as she did that.
Afterwards, she enthusiastically and cautiously placed the plant on the hole. Voila! The puffapod was all set.

"Goodbye dear, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson," she said smiling and bowing her head slightly as thr Hufflepuff was the first the finish class. He had a splendid job with his puffapod!

At least now I know how to plant a Puffapod. Maybe next time if you have the time, you could teach me how to harvest them when they are ready to be harvested. May the rest of your day be a good one."
With a smile, Alyssa left the greenhouse and headed back towards the castle.
"Oh no, thank you dear for enjoying it," Seren smiled brightly. "Of course, perhaps if we don't get around to it before the end of term, then I'm sure I can organise a lesson on it next term." After all, finals were on the horizon, students would be busy studying, and not to mention she would be busy planning and conducting them. "Enjoy the rest of your week."

Now she was ready to plant the puffapod. She took the orange one, then she shake the root. After that Raven put the puffapod to the hole.

"Now, our task today is to plant the puffapods into this raised flowerbed," she said indicating the long raised structure before them. "First thing first, you will need to collect your items from the stores cupboard. You will need a spade, gloves if you didn't bring your own and Hippogriff dung fertilizer." ... oh and their wands... but they'd be silly not to bring those, so it wasn't worth mentioning.
She stared at the students. Well what were they waiting for? "Go on... get them and bring them back."OOC: Lesson will continue in 12 hours.
Harvey went and collected the items that were needed. He picked up a spade and Hippogriff dung fertilizer. He had brought his gloves so didnt need those. He then brought back the items that were needed.

Yes no more being distracted by the prettiness otherwise they would find themselves in a bit of a pickle once it was time to get started. “Though the action of the puffapod seed blooming is a defensive mechanism, the plant itself will still perish if it is not planted and cared for appropriately. So for this reason, we need to get a wriggle on and get these beauties established in their new home.”
“Start by digging a hole in the soil,” she said taking up her special turquoise blue spade, complete with engraved initials. “You want the hole to be deep enough to sold the roots and a good two inches of the stem... the reason we don’t stop once the roots are covered is because want them to feel comfortable and established within the soil, this way there is not risk of the roots becoming exposed during watering or while it grows.” And they knew that exposed roots were bad right?
Seren inspected her hole and estimated its depth. “About a foot will do... but be sure to double check.”
Turning to the floor beside her, she gently picked up her bright orange flowered puffapod, one hand supporting the stem, the other cradling the plants roots. It really was like a child, ever so beautiful, and ever so fragile. “Shake off the roots a little before placing it into the hole, this will allow it to breathe more freely and will support healthier root growth later down the track.” “Now because the raised flower beds are designed with an efficient drainage system, we do not need to break up the soil with filters such as pebbles or gravel. Simply fill up the hole with the soil you dug out.” Using her gloved hand, Seren swept the soil back in and around the plant, filling the hole in and smoothing it out. “Pat it down gently, but not too hard, the aim is to tuck it in, not smother and suffocate it.”
Once that was done, Seren dusted off the dirt from her gloves and withdrew her wand. “Of course the first thing we do after planting something is.....” everyone should know this already, “...water it,” she finished. Aiming her wand at the base of her puffapod, she gave it a generous sprinkling of water, but not enough to drown it or cause root rot.... unlike that stupid snow dragon. “Then the last step, is to sprinkle a handful of hippogriff dung fertilizer around the plant, don’t pack it in too close to the stem, but keep it around the base.” She demonstrated by taking a handful of the fertilizer and breaking it up in her fingers, sprinkling it around the plants base, but not too close to the stem. “And there you have it.”
Dusting off her gloves one last time, she leant forward and sniffed the fragrant flower. Lovely. “Right, so time to get cracking, you don’t want to leave your puffapod sitting on the floor for too long. Once you have completed the task and have cleaned up your area you may be dismissed.”

After patting the soil around her beautiful puffapod one last time, Elise pulled her wand out of her bag.
Looking around her, she realized that some people were already filing out of the greenhouse. Nodding determinedly, she pointed her wand at a spot about 2 inches away from the plant, she smiled.
"Aguamenti!" she said softly, willing the water to pour out slowly. Good. Pouring it around the plant just enough to nourish it, but not to cause root rot, she flicked her wand and stopped the flow.
She poked a finger into the soil to test the moistness. Satisfied, she scratched one more note off her list.
SPOILER!!: Notebook
1. Dig a hole.
2. Pick up the puffapod, shake the roots gently, put it in the hole.
3. Fill the hole back in. Patpatpat.
4. Water!
5. Fertilizer.
6. Clean up! Noone wants a dirty workspace.
Onto the next task!

D'aww.. The plant certainly looked very magnificent inside the hole, Beezus thought. Of course, because it was of her favorite color and she thinks that the color of the soil rather complimented that of the Puffapod plant. Maybe when the plant would grow up, it would blossom beautifully and maybe merge with the soil's color and vice versa then it would produce more unusually colored Puffapod seeds and...
"Beezus!" She muttered as she slapped her forehead. Okay, so her thoughts obviously had drifted far away again. It reached unusually colored Puffapod seeds? Seriously? Were there such?
She quickly diverted back her thoughts to reality. She was on the process of planting a puffapod plant. She had already dug a hole and placed the plant there. Next.. Oh, right! Beatrice bent down and started filling back the hole with the same soil that she had dug a while ago. She did this task very carefully so as not to suffocate the plant under.
After watering the soil, Janice tuck in her wand carefully, again not to free Egg. Still using her dragonhide gloves, she took a look at the hippogriff dung. She peered inside it for a while taking some and sprinkled it on top of the plants.
❄Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re❄| ⚕=equivalent exchange=⚕ | pinned ya!
Now, that definitely looked verrryyy good. The plant was firmly planted now. But that was not all there is to do. There were still so much more. Just placing a plant inside the hole was not planting, it was merely putting a plant inside a hole.
Erm--what to do next exactly? Right. Water the plant.
Beatrice took out her wand from her wand holster and pointed it at the plant. More on the area that was planted on the soil. "Aguamenti." She mumbled. Then a spurt of water started emerging from the tip of her wand. The Eaglet moved her wand around the plant to make sure all the area had been watered. She also took into consideration the amount of the water she was producing, hence the occasional change of amount of water coming from her wand.
When she was all satisfied with her watering activity, she returned her wand on the holster.

Harvey had dug his hole and decided to procede onto the next task in the activity which was to pick up his puffapod and place it into the hole AFTER shaking out the roots GENTLY. So that is what he did, he went over to his puffapod and shook out the roots gently before taking it to his hole and gently placing it into his hole

He then was satisfied that his puffapod roots had been shaken not stirred and was now sitting in the hole that he had created. He then proceeded to the next task on the list.

After watering her puffapod, she grinned before consulting her notebook for the next step.
Hippogriff poop. Joy.
Snapping her gloves back on, she placed her wand back into her robes pocket before walking over to the small bucket of Hippogriff dung just waiting for her.
Picking some up in her gloved hand, she sprinkled it over her plant, patting a little. Eventually, the tiny bucket was out of hippogriff dung. Good.
Satisfied, she scratched off the next item on her list and dusted her gloves off to get rid of the Hippogriff droppings.

After Raven put the puffapod on the hole, she fill the hole with the soil while she also pat the hole firmly. To make sure that the puffapod could stand.
TUK TUK TUK.....
Yeah, and she was ready to do the next step.

post 6 : cleaning up!

Wand in hand, Kurumi pointed it at her gloves that now smelled of essence of hippogriff dung - something that Walnut would not pleased about to be sure. The cat seemed to be especially moody after the Headmaster had shaved him, and strange or unpleasant smells in the feline's eyes set him off. She had lost a perfectly good pillow the other day because Selina had come in smelling like spoiled potion. Feathers everywhere. It was horrible.
"Scourgify," she said, waving her wand over her gloves to clean them. She then turned her attention to her spade and bucket, performing the spell again, and returning them to where she had taken them from. Kurumi then returned to her table and made sure that it was clean before returning her books to her bag and scooping up the sapling, Happa, and heading over towards Professor Bentley, crossing off the last thing on her checklist.

She tried to muffle her yawn before speaking, but her eyes were watering just a bit. "Thank you for the lesson, Professor," she said with a small bow. "And...um...I'm sorry for um....slightly dozing off..." Professor Bentley knew the reason, but there really was no excuse for falling asleep, even if she had gotten the task done. "Would you mind if I use one of the small pots in the shed and some Hippogriff dung to replant him now?" She held up the sapling for emphasis.

Then, she took off her dung-infested dragonhide gloves, being extra careful not to touch them. She cleaned up her sourroundings, put the spade back to the broomshed, gathered her books into her arms, and cautiously held the tip of her gloves so that her hand will not get dirty. She decided that she'll wash it right after she stumbled into some freetime. And by then the whole thing would be smelly already.
"Thanks for the lesson, professor!" she said while getting through the greenhouse door.
Egg stayed surprisingly quiet along the way.

Then, after the puffapod was comfortable with the new home (hahahaha...) It's time to give it water. Maybe it was very thirsty..
"Aguamenti!!" The water came from her wand. But it was not enough to the puffapod.
"Aguamenti.." Then the soil of the puffapod was very wet because of the water
"I think the water was enough fof it." She smiled.

The other students were leaving now.. Really? Already? Was the class really finished? Bummer.
She looked around and found out that many students had already planted their Puffapod plants successfully which meant that she had been spacing out for a while again. That was beginning to be a habit of hers and that was something unnecessary during classes.
With a sigh, Beatrice took her packet of Hippogriff dung fertlizer. Time to fertilize. She opened the packet and poured its contents around the plant. She also made sure that every area had fertilizer on for it to grow healthy. But that didn't mean she already poured all the content of the packet. Of course, she just poured an amount that was enough.
Alright, an activity where I can get down and dirtyNathan quickly copied down all the steps and then
Nathan grabbed a shovel from the supplys he grabbed and and started to dig. He dug deep into the ground and was a bit messy with it getting dirt all over his pants. However before long he had dug a one foor hole. That was fun, now for the next step. He looked at his notes

Alright, After Raven poured some water to the puffapod, what would she do next? Gave the food fertilizer to it. She opened the bag of the fertilizer. Oh Merlin, it was stinks!!!
I think I need to use protective mask later she tought. With the spade, she took a full spade of Hippogriff Dung Fertilizer and poured it to the soil.
YAY!!! she almost finished the planting

All done. Well, except for cleaning up. She said to her herself. Beatrice took one look at her Puffapod plant and started picking up the spade she used and the packet of the Hippogriff dung Fertilizer so she could return it where she had taken them from.
"Scourgify." And the spade she used became clean. She repeated the same spell for her gloves. Then returned those in their rightful places. Afterwards, she returned to her desk, checked her things and approached their Professor. "Ermm--excuse me Professor," Beatrice said with a small bow. "I know that we're done but should we really go now?" Well, she wanted to stay a bit more and marvel at the fascinating plants around her.
BOOMBAYAH! | #PuedoPorquePiensoQuePuedo | Certified Blank and Random Person | Raventastic
Hmmm... It was finished!! Raven took off her gloves and she cleaned it.
"Scourgify." then she cleaned the spade too "Scourgify." She put the spade on the cupboard. Then she packed her stuff and left the greenhouse!!!!
"Thank you Professor Bentley for the lesson." she said it flat, no expression.

Harvey swiftly moved onto the next task, he looked at his list
Text Cut: Harvey's Parchment
Dig a hole, approximately one foot deep.
Pick up your puffapod and shake out the roots gently before placing it into the hole.
Fill the hole back in and pat it down gently.
Water your puffapod.
Fertilize it with Hippogriff dung fertilizer.
Clean up your workspace.
So he then picked up the soil that he had dug out and filled the hole again and gentley patted it down
Fill!....Fill!....Fill!
Fill!....Fill!....Fill!
Fill!....Fill!....Fill!
He then patted the hole very gently
Pat!...Pat!...Pat!
Pat!...Pat!...Pat!

Okay cracking a seed to make it bloom into a huge orange flower had been no difficult for the boy as he was already a bit taller than 6 feet so...eh...letting the seed drop down from the height of a five feet was no deal for him. He did not even need to levitate. Just pick it up and drop and there was the huge orange flower.
Nice...
Then looking up when the Herbology woman started to speak, he silently and carefully listened to her because...well...he wanted his flower planting to be perfect. His flower was going to be the most healthy and comfortable one. He was a farm boy anyway. Maybe the jobs that was given to him at the farm had very little to do with the plants and it was mostly his aunt who liked to look after the gardens yet still he had the general idea and knew the importance of them being healthy and comfortable.
Looking aroundi the Gryffindor mentally chose a perfect place for his flower while wearing his gloves. But before he turned there, he kneeled down and checked the roots of the plant. Professor Bentley had already said how much he needed to dig, about a foot, however Josh wanted to have a general idea of that himself before he began anything.
Once he believed he got enough ideas about the roots, Josh rose back up on his feet and picked up a spade before turning to the spot he had chosen for the flower. Hmm...this was going to be good. Indeed.
First he marked the area he was going to open for the flower in a wide enough circle with the spade then he started to dig determinedly.
Dig dig dig dig dig dig dig...
Phew!
This was enough, right?
Putting his hand into the hole in an attempt to check how deep it was and stuff, Josh nodded at himself.
Good digging there.
