Gardens grew luxurious in subaqueous silence; lilies, rushes, stinkweed.

Here, too, much of what did grow was stinging nettles and coarse thistle and stinkweed.

But due to a severe blight on our stinkweed crop, which as you know is our staple diet, our people are becoming severely malnourished.

They will refuse to give up their stinkweeds.

Also, they would no longer need to be living in an area that would help the stinkweeds grow.
