Disappearing Islands

The Solomon Islands are going under.  :(  This kind of thing has been predicted for some time, and poses a serious threat to island nations.

Meanwhile over in Terramagne, climate change is not as bad as here because people have done more to ameliorate it, but it's still a threat.  Hence the Republic of the Maldives seeking people with superpowers to help keep it above the waves.

First round: Planted two smooth asters and two northern sea oats in the wildflower garden.

Second round: Planted two short's asters, a wild quinine, and another flower in the wildflower garden.

Transferred four more worms to the barrel garden.

Also today I'm making sloppy joe mix, so that's where most of my energy is going.
