CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA — 

Among the thousands of Afghans evacuated to the United States in recent months, several hundred are being relocated to the southeastern state of North Carolina, where preparations are in full swing to help them adjust to new lives in America.

Time is of the essence, according to Marsha Hirsch, executive director of the Carolina Refugee Resettlement Agency (CRRA), based in Charlotte, North Carolina’s largest city.

“It’s always our hope that after the 90 days, someone [a refugee] is employed, so that the case can move forward to financial self-sufficiency, paying their own rent, taking ESL [English as a Second Language] classes, enrolling the children in school,” Hirsch told VOA. “So, we try to accomplish all of those tasks in 90 days.”

Like many refugees, the relocated Afghans fled war and upheaval as the Taliban swiftly came to power in the final days of the U.S. military withdrawal from the country. Unlike most refugees, nearly all Afghan evacuees already had some connection to the United States, having been on U.S. payrolls during America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan or related to someone who was.

“Almost everybody [who] was given this visa [to come to America] had to work with the United States in some capacity, of course with their relatives,” said Omer Omer, director of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants’ Raleigh, North Carolina field office.

Omer noted that some Afghan evacuees have already arrived in North Carolina, with more to come from U.S. military bases where they have been temporarily housed. Some arrive as family units, others as individuals.

“I expect we’ll start to get larger numbers,” he said. “So, we are really bracing ourselves.”

Adjusting to American life

Helping Afghans reestablish themselves in the United States requires a holistic approach that begins with a basic need – being able to support themselves and their families.

“We have a full employment program, and we are very big about this one,” Omer said. “We work intensively, analyzing these people [arriving refugees] and finding their potential. First, we want to make sure that they work and pay for their bills, but after that, we come to the next evaluation and in this phase, we allow them to make use of the skills, like gaining a certification for a mid-level technical job or taking extra courses.”

Some challenges Americans are all too familiar with are also stumbling blocks for Afghan evacuees, including housing.

“We are facing housing issues, not affordable housing – housing period. There is no housing!” Omer told VOA. “It is our responsibility to do a good job as a community and prepare them. So in the meantime, finding the capacity of space is one of our biggest challenges.”

In Charlotte, CRRA is networking with local institutions, including community colleges and companies based in the city.

“We have relationships with lots of employers where refugees whom we have welcomed find jobs to become self-sufficient. Relatedly, while we don’t offer ESL programs, we partner with the local community college to offer refugees English language lessons,” Hirsch said. “The college also offers a wide variety of programming for gaining certifications in other sectors and ultimately forging career paths for refugees.”

Community response

Afghans have arrived at a time of contentious debate regarding U.S.-bound immigration. A majority of North Carolinian voters twice opted for former President Donald Trump, who dramatically cut the number of refugees admitted to the United States.

But Hirsch sees a welcoming environment for Afghans arriving in the state.

“I would have to say from our office’s point of view, it hasn’t been our experience that people have been hostile to this process [accepting and resettling Afghan refugees],” she said. On the contrary, she praised “the outpouring of support that has inundated the office, from calls to emails, and people even stopping by with donations.”

While expressing concerns about uncontrolled migration to America’s southern border, Charlotte resident Karina Gauthier is among those who want to put out the welcome mat for Afghan evacuees, all of whom came to the United States legally.

A mother of two adult children, Gauthier has lived in the Charlotte area for many years and works for a local nonprofit organization.

“In general, I welcome new migrants into the Charlotte area, I believe they make our city more interesting and richer in culture. I’ve recently been thinking about volunteering helping them [Afghans] to adjust, but I have so little time right now,” Gauthier told VOA.

We’ve all watched Animal Crossing island tours — or maybe it’s just me who has consumed dozens of these with the frenzied hope of osmosing design skills through my eyeballs. Talented Animal Crossing: New Horizons players deck out their islands, top to bottom, making ample use of terraforming tools, furniture, and custom designs. I have learned a lot of tricks of the trade thanks to creators’ incredibly inventive use of accessories and furniture items and pathing tools, in ways I never would have thought to.

The coming Animal Crossing: New Horizons update plus the Happy Home DLC release on Nov. 5 has sent me back into the wormhole of these videos, looking for inspiration. ACNH’s options are already intimidatingly endless, and with the addition of farming, gyroids, new furniture and fences — including froggy chair! — and new villagers, there’s even more to do. Polygon interviewed four pro island designers for their design tips, and what they’re doing to prepare for the update.

[Ed. note: These interviews have been edited for clarity and length.]

Katie, Katie on Calla Cove

When did you start seriously designing your island? Have you re-designed parts of it?

I’ve been working on my current island since July 22 when I reset my game back to the beginning, but it’s always a work in progress! Oftentimes I’ll be inspired to create something new, and it turns out completely different than what I imagined (for better or worse), so I’m always redesigning and renovating various areas. Since the in-game clock is set to the player’s respective season, the holiday events and seasonal changes always make for unique and creative challenges for decorating, as well.

What is your aesthetic, and what design tools and items did you use to achieve it?

I definitely gravitate towards a very natural aesthetic where bushes, trees, and flowers are incorporated into every single build. The majority of my island focuses on the natural beauty and the raw nature that Animal Crossing New Horizons gifted us within our island getaway package. To achieve this, I tend to use a lot of items with muted and neutral colors like the pirate barrels, brown street lamps, hedge fencing, and log furniture.

Do you have any design tips for beginners?

Search the internet for inspiration! When I first started decorating in ACNH, I immediately ran to the internet to get inspired by other creators and see what resonated with my own personal style. Hundreds of players online have created impeccable islands with different themes and aesthetics for you to get motivated. Not only can you use their islands to draw some inspiration for your own, but you might see an item used in a totally unique way, or even embrace a theme you hadn’t considered before.

Any unique tips or unexpected ways you’ve used in-game design tools or items?

One of my favorite design tips is to stunt tree growth! Having varied heights with trees (or any item, for that matter) makes for more interesting depth and dimension throughout the island. The trees in Animal Crossing New Horizons have five stages of growth that occur over a five-day period: nursery, small young, medium young, large young, and fully grown. The stages are the same for any kind of tree, including bamboo! If you allow the tree to grow to the desired stage and plant a piece of fruit directly behind the tree, it will stop it from growing any further.

How have you prepared for the update?

A lot of my preparation has revolved around my excitement for the new farming element within the 2.0 update. By clearing out an area and creating some farming space, I’m gearing up to cultivate the tomatoes, wheat, potatoes, and carrots properly. My island definitely doesn’t shy away from agriculture since I’ve already decorated a vineyard and turned my Nook’s Cranny into a feed & seed, so I’m eager to embrace even more in-game farming!

Is there a specific part of your island that’s your favorite?

One of my favorite spots on my island is my villager Rowan’s yard. Even though it’s such a tiny area, something about his little basketball court makes my heart so happy. I love taking my villager’s personalities into consideration when giving them a space to live, and Rowan’s jock-like nature deserves a space where he can enjoy all things athletic!

When did you start seriously designing your island? Have you re-designed parts of it?

I started designing my island before the game came out. I knew I wanted a Zelda-themed island, to hold me over until the Breath of the Wild sequel. I am a bit obsessed with the Zelda series and I thought recreating my favorite parts of BOTW and other Zelda titles like Ocarina of Time and Link’s Awakening would help me wait out the release of the next game. So I drew my map ahead of time and was able to get the layout I wanted from the start. I was very excited to use the design feature to give my reps custom clothing for their characters.

Over the summer the inspiration finally hit me to make an entire Lost Woods-themed island. The Lost Woods and Castle Town were the first areas created in my original island. They were always my favorite, but they didn’t flow together aesthetically. So I decided to give up the blue Castle Town and make it match the woods. Using a new green palette I slowly transformed the whole island into a green maze of Evergreens, Spooky Trees and Mushroom Platforms.

What is your aesthetic, and what design tools and items did you use to achieve it?

My aesthetic is Zeldacore with a bit of forestcore/castlecore. But all definitely Zeldacore at heart. The spooky trees, the moss covered stone DIYs, the Mushroom platforms, fossils and trees themselves were my favorite items to decorate with.

Do you have any design tips for beginners?

Think of your island as a continuously evolving project. You don’t have to have everything perfect all at once. As we learn new techniques or think of new ideas we can incorporate them into our builds. There’s no finish line in Animal Crossing. It’s not a race and I’m glad because I don’t want it to be “over.”

Some other tips: Finish an idea to completion before tearing it down. Sometimes the build doesn’t look right until the very end when you add the last details. And you won’t know unless you complete it. Every one of us that makes a great build also had several attempts you didn’t see so don’t think it has to be perfect on the first try.

Any unique tips or unexpected ways you’ve used in-game design tools or items?

1. The more you design, the better you’ll get as a lot of it is trial and error. So keep doing it regardless of skill level — there’s one way to go and that’s up!
2. When creating designs I always start with the grayscale palette. It makes it easier to group colors together for me.
3. Save often. In case you make a big mistake (which I do alllll the time) you can exit out of the design and reclaim the previous edit. I will also copy the design to a new template if I’m going to attempt something I’m not sure of. At most I’ve had five templates of the same design going at once.

Due to the lack of in-game green items, I had to get creative and the Swamp Path was born — to add a deep green not found outside of the trees. I saw other swamp codes but they had a delicate cottage core feel and I wanted a dark swamp with glowing fireflies. I make umbrella bushes and love using them to add variety in the “greens” to create depth. Green mums, two different types of bushes, and several umbrellas helped to create a more lush ground cover. My good friend @acnh.Hylia from IG also made me some great umbrella designs to use such as the Alligator Loki and Deku Scrubs.

How have you prepared for the update?

I am very excited about the new items coming in the update. The glowing green weeds, the vines and new trees were the missing pieces I was trying to make up for.

I’ve prepared for the update by making sure I have Nook Miles to go to the mystery islands with Kapp’n. I’m keeping a list of the things I’d like to bring back and add to my island before releasing the DA. The biggest thing I’m doing for the update is preparing my other three islands, one has been a WIP for the past year and the other two are brand new islands I started today so I have to grind to get ready over the next two weeks. All three will be based on Zelda of course: a surprise return of a favorite area demolished in the Lost Woods island remake, a total remake of the Links Awakening map, and the third I’m still deciding.

What is your favorite area you’ve designed?

I definitely love Hyrule Castle, it has been there since the beginning and right behind it (literally) is the Lost Woods. But recently the Korok Forest finally came together after a year of working on it and it’s become my favorite place to go, and I wish I had a Master Sword pedestal item.

I suppose, whatever we wish we had in game, we as a community, will find a creative way to have it. And seeing everyone’s creativity is my favorite part of this experience of being an Animal Crosser.

Lex, Lex Play

When did you start seriously designing your island? Have you re-designed parts of it?

I started focusing on the aesthetic value of my island about a month and a half after I bought the game — so around June 2020. That was my first island, Rivendell, which I redesigned several times. Since then, I’ve designed more islands: Lórien, Lost Falls, Antillia, Zinnia, and even GG Island, GUCCI’s official island for their Gucci Guilty campaign.

What is your aesthetic, and what design tools and items did you use to achieve it?

My aesthetic changes with each island I design, anything from autumncore to ancient abandoned city. I think a design choice that I carry through all my islands is to fill all possible space, minimizing empty grass. To achieve this, I rely on natural furniture (log stakes and the like) and plants — especially shrubs.

Do you have any design tips for beginners?

For new players, I definitely recommend that you take your time getting to learn the game and understanding what sort of aesthetic you’d like to see on your island. I find so much inspiration just scrolling through the Animal Crossing communities on Instagram and Twitter. YouTube is a lovely resource for learning how to use the tools in the game and how to acquire everything you need.

Any unique tips or unexpected ways you’ve used in-game design tools or items?

Don’t be afraid of the terraforming tools! You can always undo something if you don’t like the finished look, and adding cliffs and waterfalls around your island adds so much depth and dimension to your island design. Also, if you’re struggling to fill large spaces, do not underestimate the power of a pond.

How have you prepared for the update?

For the update, I’ve set a goal to finish the island I’m working on for my channel (Zinnia). I’m fortunate to have two islands, so I plan to restart one and flatten the other, that way I keep my resources and everything I’ll need to purchase new items. I know a lot of people are aiming to restart their islands prior to the 2.0 update, but personally, I recommend keeping your island! You’ll need those Nook Miles to take trips with Kapp’n and buy the new Nook Miles items, and you’ll want bells, too, for redesigning. Nook miles can be tedious to farm; don’t burn yourself out before the update even arrives.

What is your favorite area you’ve designed?

Out of all the islands and specific builds I’ve done, my clifftop house on Antillia remains one of my favorite builds ever.

Kang, KangGaming

When did you start seriously designing your island? Have you re-designed parts of it?

My original island? As soon as the game was released last year! Since then, however, I’ve had two other islands I worked on and now I completely erased my original island a couple of months ago! I wanted to start fresh.

What is your aesthetic, and what design tools and items did you use to achieve it?

I didn’t really have an aesthetic in mind, although my recent island is going for a “Farm Village” feel. On my original island, I was super fond of the items you get from Celeste. I had my main room decorated with those items as well as an area outside. Those are the space items, by the way.

Do you have any design tips for beginners?

The best thing for me is to take it section by section. Think of an idea you want to accomplish and focus on that for some time instead of trying to decorate everything at once. While streaming, it usually takes me several areas just to plan out and decorate one area.

Any unique tips or unexpected ways you’ve used in-game design tools or items?

Stalls are awesome and can be used for a variety of different things since they can be customized.

How have you prepared for the update?

Well, I am attempting to get my new island to five stars at the moment. That way I don’t have to worry about progressing through the old content, instead I can focus on new things. You can follow that journey with me live on my Twitch. In addition to that, in trying to gather as many bells and Nook Miles as I can since a lot of the new features are going to require a lot of those. Finally, trying to gather as many of the old DIYs before the new ones is a goal as well.

Is there a specific part of your island that’s your favorite?

I have a pretty nice farm/greenhouse area set up on my new island. Also, I had a wedding on my old island and we made a ceremony area as well as a reception area. That was pretty memorable!

TOPEKA (KSNT)– The pandemic has caused a lot of shortages this year, but luckily for the people of Shawnee County, local meat shops are prepared for the upcoming holiday season.

Shops like Farview Farms Meat and Leonard’s Meats are stocked and ready thanks to planning ahead. According to Farview Farms Meat’s owner, Drew Forester, he wasn’t even aware there was a possible shortage of turkeys.

“At this point, we haven’t noticed anything that seems like the supply is going to be short.”

Meanwhile, Leann Berden, an employee at Leonard’s informed KSNT that their shop has been prepping for more than six months for turkey day.

“We have to order our turkeys in February so that we know we are going to get exactly what we asked for,” Berden says. “We can’t wait until the last minute.”

It’s a good thing that they didn’t wait, as other stores in the area who did not stock up early might be getting the short end of the stick this year. Both shops are taking initiative and allowing people to come in or call in and preorder their turkeys before the big holiday.

“If you’re concerned about shortages just be proactive and get your order in now so you don’t miss out,” Forester said.

If you do intend on getting your turkey early, they will be more than ready to eat on Thanksgiving day. Just make sure you give them 3 days to fully thaw out.

The Mt. Ararat/Hyde and Morse football teams are fresh off bye weeks and ready to face familiar foes in the regional semifinals of the eight man large playoffs.

No. 2 Morse (5-2) plays No. 3 Camden Hills (4-3) on Friday night at 7 in a North division semifinal. The teams split the regular season meetings, with Camden winning 60-42 on Sept. 11 and Morse winning 44-30 on Oct. 8.

The No. 2 Eagles (6-1), meanwhile, will host No. 3 Spruce Mountain (6-2) in a South division semifinal Friday night at 6. The two teams last met in Week 1, which Mt. Ararat won 42-12.

Morse coach Jason Darling said there certainly won’t be many surprises Friday night.

“It’s certainly a rarity to play a team three times,” said Morse head coach Jason Darling. “I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised by what either team does. It’s going to come down to who limits mistakes and the team that capitalizes on opportunities the most. … I think everyone knows that if you don’t play your best you won’t be playing again until next season.”

Added Camden Hills coach Chris Christie: “We welcome the opportunity to battle them again. We have great respect for their entire program from top to bottom. It should be a great game for the fans of football.”

Mt Ararat coach Frank True said he watched Spruce pound No. 6 Yarmouth in a quarterfinal game last weekend, and knows his Eagles will face a tough test Friday.

“What I saw in the first week was a team transitioning from 11-man football to eight-man,” said True. “They changed up their schemes and moved around guys on both sides of the ball with the depth they have. To summarize, they are big, fast and strong. They’re going to present us with a lot of challenges.”

Other eight-man teams are gearing up for regional semifinal matchups as well.

Waterville is prepping for a familiar foe in Mount Desert Island when they meet Friday at 2 p.m. The Purple Panthers pulled out a 30-28 overtime victory earlier this month.

“Mount Desert Island is a very good football team, their record (2-4) is deceiving,” said Waterville head coach Isaac LeBlanc. “Our regular season contest with MDI came down to just a couple of plays in overtime. They will be a tremendous test yet again for us.”

Waterville standout quarterback Liam Von Oesen missed the Oct. 9 contest due to injury, but he will play Friday. Nevertheless, LeBlanc knows the basics must be covered to win a postseason football game.

“Our fundamentals and focus must be on point,” he said. “It’s really important to focus on playing a fundamentally sound game, playing together, and staying composed for four quarters.”

In the eight-man small South division, No. 5 Maranacook (3-3) is hoping to keep the momentum going it picked up in a quarterfinal victory over No. 4 Old Orchard Beach. The Black Bears will play at No. 1 Telstar (7-0) at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Bethel.

“I challenged the guys to buckle down and grind after our regular-season finale loss to Mt. Ararat,” said Maranacook head coach Jordan DeMillo. “I’ve been a big believer in this team all year and that’s one of the reasons why.”

DeMillo said his team executed in all three phases of the game to come away with the victory. Now, with a rematch with Telstar coming up Saturday, DeMillo knows his team will have to play as well as it did in Old Orchard Beach to be successful.

“We’re going to have to play really good football, they’re big, athletic, and fast where it matters,” he said. “They went undefeated for a reason. It’s going to take the same style of execution we just had (against Old Orchard Beach) and then some.”

A slew of activities amongst China’s private and state-owned aerospace companies this year are a testament to China’s growing ambitions for economic and military domination of space. On October 19, the Academy of Aerospace Solid Propulsion Technology (AASPT) – which belongs to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) – test fired “the most powerful solid rocket motor with the largest thrust in the world so far.” The 500 tons of thrust is designed to propel the next iteration of China’s heavy-lift rockets, which would meet various demands for space missions like crewed Moon landings, deep space exploration, and off-world resource extraction.

Exploration of space-based natural resources are on the Chinese policy makers’ mind. The question is, what Joe Biden thinks?

In April of this year, China’s Shenzen Origin Space Technology Co. Ltd. launched the NEO-1, the first commercial spacecraft dedicated to the mining of space resources – from asteroids to the lunar surface.

Falling costs of space launches and spacecraft technology alongside existing infrastructure provides a unique opportunity to explore extraterrestrial resource extraction. Current technologies are equipped to analyze and categorize asteroids within our solar system with a limited degree of certainty. One of the accompanying payloads to the NEO-1 was the Yuanwang-1, or “little hubble” satellite, which searches the stars for possible asteroid mining targets.

The NEO-1 launch marks another milestone in private satellite development, adding a new player to space based companies which include Japan’s Astroscale. Private asteroid identification via the Sentinel Space Telescope was supported by NASA until 2015. As private investment in space grows, the end goal is to be capable of harvesting resources to bring to Earth.

According to Shenzen Origin Space Technology company website:

“Through the development and launch of the spacecraft, Origin Space is able to carry out low-Earth orbit space junk cleanup and prototype technology verification for space resource acquisition, and at the same time demonstrate future asteroid defense related technologies.” In the end, it will come down to progressively lowering the cost of launched unit of weight and booster rocket reliability – before fundamentally new engines may drive the launch costs even further down.

The April launch demonstrates that China is already succeeding while the West is spinning its wheels. The much touted Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries (DSI) DSI were supposed to be the vanguard of extra-terrestrial resource acquisition with major backers including Google’s GOOG Larry Page. But both have since been acquired, the former by block chain company ConsenSys and the latter by Bradford Space, neither of which are prioritizing asteroid mining.

This is too bad, given that that supply chain crunches here on Earth – coupled with the global green energy transition – are spiking demand for strategic minerals that are increasingly hard to come by on our environmentally stressed planet. And here China currently holds a monopoly on rare earth element (REE) extraction and processing to the tune of 90%. REE’s 17 minerals essential for modern computing and manufacturing technologies for everything from solar panels to semi-conductors.

Resource-hungry China also has major involvement in global critical mineral supply chains, which include cobalt, tungsten, and lithium. As I’ve written before, the Chinese hold of upstream and downstream markets is staggering. Possessing 30% of the global mined ore, 80% of the global processing facilities, and an ever increasing list of high dollar investments around the world, China boasts over $36 billion invested in mining projects in Africa alone.

Beijing’s space program clearly indicates that the Chinese would also like to tighten their grip on space-based resources as well. According to research, it is estimated that a small asteroid roughly 200 meters in length that is rich in platinum could be worth up to $300 million. Merrill Lynch predicts the space industry — including extraterrestrial mining industry – to value $2.7 trillion in the next three decades. REEs are fairly common in the solar system, but to what degree remains unknown. The most sought after are M-type asteroids which are mostly metal and hundreds of cubic meters. While these are not the most common, the 27,115 Near Earth asteroids are bound to contain a few. This – and military applications – are no doubt a driving factor of China’s ever increasing space ambitions.

A new goldrush in space based resource extraction has sparked a new age of miners looking to find their fortunes. In reality, the industry cannot get off the ground without further innovation in deep space observation, on-board power, extraction processes, and logistical support in low earth and high earth orbit.

As Uberization of space looms closer, the prices of space launches are falling rapidly. Privately funded satellites like the NEO-1 or Sentinel are the first of many novel economic ventures deploying technologies essential to the viability of solar system mining projects. Private launches by SpaceX and Blue Origin will provide low cost satellite deployment for further testing craft and classification telescopes.

Right now, the cost to capture and process asteroids is far greater than traditional mining techniques. This is changing, but like in traditional mining and rare earths refining, China is far ahead of the U.S. in terms of industrial policy and new investments. China is cognizant of the riches in space, while the U.S. fails to support both their public and private space missions. The United States cannot afford to cede this industry – like it has so many others – to its peer competitors. If we do, the joke is on U.S., and it will not be funny.

Nov. 11 is the Permian Basin’s average date of first freeze. That’s only two weeks away so it is time to take a look at what needs to be prepped in your yard for winter.

Walk around your yard and garden and decide what plants in pots need to be taken into your garage or other shelter. Be sure that there is room to move them in since there have been times when the freeze moves in quickly and frantically moving plants inside occurs. Trimming off dead or withering growth and collecting any seeds you want to save prior to moving helps them survive the winter.

If you have vegetables still growing now is the time to harvest and preserve them. If you have used cages or supports, clean them and store them where you can find them again.

Empty and clean your rain barrels. Be sure that they have a screen over the top so that the falling leaves do not accumulate there. Also check to be sure you have covers for rain barrels spigots or hoses in case of an extended hard freeze. A hard extended freeze can freeze hoses on hose spigots so be ready to disconnect hoses and cover or drip spigots.

Fall is the best time to add compost and other soil amendments. The nutrients were probably depleted during the growing season. Simply top dressing (adding compost around plants without digging it in) will work wonders for your garden next year.

In your yard clean up plants that are diseased and leave the rest where they are. Don’t add the diseased plants to the compost pile. Leaving the plants to overwinter provides shelter for pollinators and other beneficial insects and wildlife. And while you’re at it, if you put out feeders for migrating birds or winter residents check to see that they are clean and that you have fresh seed. Clean and winterproof any water sources you might have.

Add more mulch to your beds since the surface of the soil helps regulate the soil temperature and moisture, easing the transition to winter. Instead of bagging your fallen leaves and putting them in the dumpster, try using them as mulch!

When all your outside fall jobs are done, start to prepare for the new year. Clean and sharpen your garden tools. Go through your seeds and see that they are labeled and still within a viable time window.

When the planting bug hits in 2022 you will be ready. My guess is that in January you will have the garden bug once again and will be reading seed catalogs and magazines. Review your garden journal for this year and see which plants you plan to grow again and where you will put them. If you are growing vegetables, don’t forget to rotate where you plant specific plants.

Most importantly, while there are still comfortable temperatures, spend time outside and look for migrating Monarchs.

Goodbye, pumpkin-only farms. Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have been eager to grow a plethora of veggies on their islands, and come Nov. 5, new crops will arrive. In anticipation, plenty of New Horizons players have already prepped impressive gardens and farms to make space for the new crops.

For a lot of New Horizons players, the major 2.0 update — which adds Brewster, cooking, and a paid DLC, among lots more — inspired players to pick up their Switches again and return back to their islands. With islands long abandoned after New Horizons’ intense moment passed, people have a lot of work to do to get ready. The biggest thing to prep for is new crops: potatoes, wheat, sugarcane, carrots, and tomatoes. These’ll take up precious island space, but players seem eager to fill their island to the brim with veggies.

And it’s not only dirt and fences that players are plopping down. Using items already available, players have created elaborate, cozy setups for farms both small and large. Pillows are now seed bags, as seen below.

Impressive use of silos, panels, and booths create the illusion of a massive red barn with a chicken coop outside.

Rows of golden roses line pathways for massive farm operations.

Mushrooms, pumpkins, flowers, and dropped honeycombs create impeccable vibes.

Naturally, players are making custom veggie signposts to label plots, too. This Reddit user was kind enough to share their creator code for others to easily find and download, too.
