"I've several plants that I potted inside," Peggy admits, because while she had given up ninety percent of the seedlings to the main crops, she had kept some for herself in order to see if she could do it. "They're beginning to sprout a little, but sprouts aren't going to feed me come the winter and I'm not sure how much they're going to feed me, especially when the water is harder to get."

Wearily, she gives Jon a smile. "I don't suppose you think we can build an aqueduct before winter?"
