will the castle have a dedicated farming area? surely some of the foods they come across will be plants they can recreate the conditions for, and doubtless some planets would be happy to share crops with the castle crew. so it never made sense to me why the show only ever added kaltenekker in that vein, no shot the paladins wouldnât jump on opportunities to have steady food sources besides goo đ especially with pidges mom being a botanist she definitely knows how to plan a garden and iirc lance comes from a farming family so hello ?? lmao this bugs me far more than it should. thanks for reading my nonsense
YES the castle will have a dedicated farming area! Keith and Hunk are the main two to work in it actually, with occasional appearances from Pidge and Lance.
Pidge was never really into their mom's gardening, so they didn't retain a lot of it, but still. Sometimes it's nice to walk around in the farms and be reminded of her mom's old projects. After the Olkari arc he spends a lot more time here, having a better understanding of nature.
Lance did come from a farming family, and he would totally help around the farm more! He's used to the chores, animal and plant related alike, but frankly the way Keith glares at him when he gets near Kaltenecker turns him away for a long while. Lmao.
Hunk, when he still lived in Samoa that is, would grow some of his own vegetables. Taking that knowledge, mixing it with what the others knew, and applying it to alien life actually gave him a pretty nice hobby for when he probably shouldn't be cooking fifteen times a day.
Keith is an interesting one to me because him and his dad literally lived ages away from... anything? His dad likely had to drive for ages just to go to work. In my heart of hearts Keith was an FFA kid because of this, they had a small barn and a homestead of crops. Keith used to very frequently fall asleep in the barn next to his lamb and he now does the same thing with Kaltenecker.
