Now that my work schedule is a little more relaxed, I decided I could get back to gardening again this year. For one reason and another, I wasn't able to garden the last couple of years, and I've really missed it. Yesterday was the Wasatch Community Garden annual plant sale. Wasatch Community Garden is a terrific organization that spreads the love of gardening around town. Among other things, they support small gardens in different neighborhoods that don't get a lot of fresh, quality food, and they do cooking classes. Their big event every year is the plant sale, which specializes in heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables, as well as offering trees and flowers. It's a huge event that thousands of people come out to, bringing their kids, and wagons for hauling their plants home in. It's one of my favorite events of the year, so I made my way downtown really early to get in line for my plants.
I came home with 5 different tomato plants - cherry and globe varieties that are supposed to be good for container gardening, 4 different pepper plants, 2 different varieties of cucumbers, and one eggplant for the fun of it. I also bought a 6-pack of strawberry plants
Before coming home, I took a brief break to run by a local favorite, Hruzka's Kolaches for a couple of kolaches. Gardening works up an appetite, and a girl's got to eat.
