Oh wow, that's actually crazy to hear. I always figured those overflow tanks were pretty solid, but @noahlee your friend's story totally changed my mind. Guess that plastic gets brittle over time.

Actually, gardens can still be that shared space if we make time for them. My neighbor has a community plot where a few of us grow tomatoes together. It's not the same as a grandma's backyard, but it's something. Life moves fast, but maybe we just need to slow down a bit for the green stuff. Even small pots can feel like a room if you care for them.

A friend's peach cobbler once made her dad sniffle, saying it tasted like home.
