February 3

According to the calendar she'd looked at earlier today, Sierra didn't have much time left to get her Herbology homework done. Speaking of calendars, she'd also glanced at the Moon Planting Calendar they'd done in class and determined this date would be best for planting root and bulb crops.

She'd chosen potatoes. Why? She didn't exactly know, but this was the only root and bulb crop she was able to get together at such a short notice. Maybe they could be used in a potion or something? Who knew...

She found a free area in the gardens and knelt down beside it. The first thing she did was stick her small, garden shovel deep into the soil so as to get a hole big enough to plant. Knowing she'd have to fill the hole sometime later, she made sure not to scatter the dirt and let it gather in a small, nearby pile.
