Falaroy the elf discovered a small patch of vegetables still growing in December, after the seeds were planted in May.  Allium all around!  He knew this must be a powerful plant to survive through freezing temperatures, multitudinous slugs and an onslaught of weeds and fallen leaves.  He’s going to cut a few leaves to store in his belt pouch.  They might be handy to season the kohlrabi stew or drive away the snalabies, which are always slithering around looking for an elven meal.
