There's something so special about seeing a garden bloom and knowing you had a hand in it. It really strengthens your connection with the world around you.
I think a communal garden sounds nice in a lot ways, though. Like, that strengthening your connection with the world around you aspect is just [...] expanded to strengthen your connection with your community too?
But I get wanting your own too. Maybe you could put together one of those little windowsill gardens that people have? For herbs and little flowers and things? It's not the same, but it'd be something that's just yours. [...] But you've probably already thought about that, huh?
Sometimes I overlook the people aspect, so it's good to be reminded of it. Your outlook is [...] refreshing.
I actually hadn't put much thought into something like that, if only because of being uprooted from the station almost as soon as I got settled in. But now that you mention it...

Are there plants there that're just yours? Or are they all communal?

Maybe something to consider then! Just a mini-garden all for yourself. Plus, you'd get to buy some of those cute little pots!
[...] You got here just before that 'blip' thing, then?

Yes. I'd been here for less than a year. It was jarring, to say the least.

[...] I can imagine. It sounded like a lot to deal with.

Have you ever tried to [...] get away from that? Find something simple?
