Chapter 22: The Garden

The jar held seeds.

Thad shook them into his palm in the lamplight.

There were round brown ones, flat grey ones, tiny black ones, and a few pale shells he could not name.

Wystan, wrapped in a blanket on the stone bench, had gone very still.

"I found them in the autumn," he said.

"And in the winter, when I could. Peas, barley, onions gone to seed, and the wild garlic you like."

"All winter?"

"I didn't know what to do with them. I thought, if you ever wanted a garden." Wystan stopped.

"I thought I'd hide them until you asked."

Thad closed his hand over the seeds.

"Wystan," he said. "We're planting this week."

They planted on the south slope below the cave mouth.

The snow had melted back there from a wide brown shelf of earth that faced the sun.

The whole Hold turned out.

That surprised Thad more than anything had in a long time.

Nobody was asked.

They simply came, in ones and twos and families, with digging sticks and baskets and a bag of manure from somebody's shed.
