193 A Little Help From his Friends

The next morning brought joy to the residents of the Den. The gardens had been completed overnight, and with a heavy dose of magic, they had grown the fledgling plants enough to harvest the first crops from the fields.

There wasn't time to grow longer germination things like fruits and most vegetables. Even the root vegetables needed some more time to grow before maturity, but a selection of herbs and some asparagus had been prepared to add variety and flavour to the morning meal.

It was a change which everyone in the camp appreciated since they had been eating mostly prepackaged meals or monster meat with rice lately. Having an available stock of fresh vegetables would change their whole menu for the better, and with so many witches to help in the garden they would only need to wait a few days until they started getting a return on their investment.
