455 The Thesian Family Member (Part-1)

Alexander spent a lot of his time in March inspecting the fields, watching the farmers not just plow and plant seeds but also perform another critical job, which was de-weeding, i.e.- removing the undesirable plants growing on the field.

A task that was seen being performed by both men and women using small sickles, who primarily worked on the wheat seeds that were just waking up from their winter slumber.

It was a tedious process but also very important, for the level of weed removal would affect the final product, thus the men were hard at work trying to kill off these invasive plants as soon as possible.

Alexander also saw the farmers prune many fruit trees, i.e.- cutting parts of the part to encourage growth, a job that required quite expert skills, as too much removal would damage the tree, but too little would have no result, and be a waste of time.

In this way, the month of March nearly ended for Alexander, until one day around the end of it, he got his first good news.
