The gardening work is slow for the time being (given the snow), but it gave Chase a few ideas how to tide things over. You see, he worked out that people will pay more money for plants when the dirty work has been done.

So he spent the morning outside, with a bag of bulbs, some plant pots, and some glitter spray paint. First of all he worked out that it was easier to spray the pot before putting the soil in, then he got into a rhythm - spray, soil, bulb, done.

He's now set up a stall in the main bar, selling said shiny pots.

$1 a pot
All profits go to feeding runaways.


He sits back and waits for his moneymaking scheme to take off. Piece of cake, right?

Sadly, having been mostly responsible for digging in the garden rather than actual horticulture, he has planted all fifty bulbs upside down in the pots. But there's still some chance they might grow. Probably.

"There actually somethin' in these pots?"

Ben's not adverse to helping kids out but something about this kid smells of Yancy Street and not in a good way.

There is a petite woman in a spiffy green silk suit surveying his pots with an amused smile.

She produces a five dollar bill and raises an eyebrow.

"Would you be one of the runaways this will be helping to feed?"
