Going Wide

Alex planted some fences and then used a hoe to make some divots on the ground. Then, he handed some seeds to Whisker and told him to plant them.

Whisker took the seeds and ran along the side of the divots planting the seeds. He wasn't just planting the seeds either. He was using his knowledge about plants and gardening to plant the seeds appropriately.

From time to time, he would stop and look back at Alex to ask if a seed should go there.

"What would happen if their roots touch each other?" Alex asked the little mouse. Whisker tried to think but there was too much information in his mind to sort through immediately.

"They have contradicting elemental roots, so you don't want them touching each other," Alex said. "Which is why you have to plant them separately, far away from each other."

Whisker remembered the lesson from a while ago and nodded. Then, he continued planting the seeds.
