Last week I bemoaned the slow start at our garden this season, but yesterday we received notice that Denver Urban Gardens had a bunch of surplus tomato and pepper starter plants up for grabs. They'd been donated from a local plant nursery who hadn't sold their spring supply. April hurried over and grabbed a wonderful variety of hearty plants, including some fun peppers like "Hot Carrot," "Hot Tomato," "Hot Cherry" and "Hot Banana." This is great news-- and we basically are now fast-forwarding our plot by about 4-6 weeks!
No time to waste now that it's mid June, we carted them to the garden this afternoon to get them in the ground right away. Energized and motivated, I rigged up the trailer to haul the flat of plants the 12 blocks to our plot. I owed it to myself to defy orders and ride the day after surgery, right??
