no.

that would be pumpkin picking if you want to add that to the list but picking up a pumpkin isn't gardening.

[mucked]

[ no, steve, she doesn't want to add pumpkin picking to the list. ]

What would count?

[uprightness]

actual gardening.

it's about time you'll see the patch, you know.

I'm helping Hermione with her herbs, too.

[ this is the same man that took down 10 Strike Team members inside an elevator. ]

[mucked]

Of course you are. [ let her ruminate a moment on the person she loves. good lord. ] Alright, I'll plant some seeds. But I want to be able to eat the end result myself as well.

[uprightness]

done.

those pumpkins will be great in a pie. I was telling winn the other day.

[ he's so proud of them. ]

[mucked]

Why pumpkins, by the way? Is it because of Halloween?

[ she'd voiced a taste for the pies back then. and, of course, she'd never married the two concepts aloud before now. ]

[uprightness]

the main reason, yeah.

When I went to see the ship wreckage in the woods with Nat, I found those giant pumpkins nearby. Figured I could plant a few and see what happens.

They're not growing to the same size, though. I think the soil must have done that back there.

[mucked]

Makes perfect sense. Different conditions could affect all manner of variables. But have you thought about what you might want to grow next?

[uprightness]

If I could do tomatoes, I'd try for those.

Some flowers might be nice, too. for color and Hermione's herbs are useful. She makes potions out of them.

[mucked]

Flowers are just for show. Grow something useful. Grow raspberries.

[ #PRIORITIES ]

[uprightness]

Raspberries?

[ now here's an idea. ]

why those?

[mucked]

For jam, of course. Put up some preserves -- they'll last longer.

[ and she can have it on scones. ]

[uprightness]

That's not a bad idea.

alright, then. Once we reach a planet with greenery, I'll look for the space-equivalent of those.

[mucked]

Blackberries will also do, of course. In a pinch.

[uprightness]

How about strawberries? we can try for those, too.

[mucked]

I'd settle for them, certainly.

[uprightness]

berries, then.

well, at least now I know what to do next.

[mucked]

And if you find some by May we can knock another item off your list of demands.

[uprightness]

ideas.

My list of ideas. They're open to negotiation, by the way.

[mucked]

Just how open are they?

[uprightness]

I guess you'll never know unless you try.

[mucked]

[ he's a scamp -- tempting her thus. he's a scamp, she thinks, and he knows it. ]

Does 'drawing' mean we both must draw?

[uprightness]

I don't suppose it's a must.

Unless you'll want to.

[ never say he isn't willing to compromise. ]

[mucked]

You know -- it occurs to me you never got to so much as start your intended sketch back on the ring world.

[ they'd been distracted in time. ]

[uprightness]

I didn't.

I guess that's why it's up there.

[ on the list. provided he could focus on just that this time around. ]
