farm - IN PROGRESS
Lilith and Samael's farm is (of course) a forest farm.
They've pulled up the non-flowering weeds to encourage more wildflowers to spread, but have chosen to leave all of the existing trees and berry bushes untouched as well as just about all of the rocks/fallen logs/etc lying on grass. There are two exceptions to this: the grassy alcoves on the west side of the map have been cleared of stumps, and in their place are two small meadows full of flowers.
The top one has been filled with a ring of chamomile and lavender, as well as a few calendula and lemonbalm plants scattered around. The middle of the ring has been left bare of everything but grass, making it a good place to lie down and enjoy the sun and smell of the flowers without having to worry about sitting on a bee or something.
The bottom one has had a single young cherry tree planted in the center, and is surrounded by an absolute riot of blooms— spider lilies, marigolds, asphodels, hemlocks, larkspurs, aconites, dahlia, and anemones. Despite the shade cast by the cherry tree and the differing needs of the flowers, they all seem to be growing well— even out of season. There's a path made of flagstones leading up to the tree, and a little pot of kudzu (kept very carefully trimmed) sitting at its base. (There is also more or less friendly "KEEP OUT" sign warning that most of the plants are poisonous, some even just to touch, and that anyone caught flower picking will come to regret it.)
Their house is surrounded by more larkspurs, and also covered with some kind of vine with frilly white flowers. Again, despite the conflicting growth types neither seems to be out-competing the other, and they bloom regardless of the season or weather. A scattering of apple trees (and one lone pomegranate) have been planted around the farm.
The greenhouse has not yet been repaired, but once it has it will mostly house a stupid variety of tomatoes (who needs that many tomatoes?!) There will also be strawberry plants, at least one small plot of eggplants, and another of leeks.
