Thanks Larry! Good to hear the first 20-by-20 event was a big success. You guys are vegetable garden rock stars with massive potential. You certainly inspired Elise and me to grow more of our own food. And we have plans to expand our garden next spr…

Could More Community Gardens Be in Our Future?

For the avid vegetable gardener there is never a time in the year that you don't think gardening. During January is no exception. Now is the time to start planning for the coming spring. If you have a spot in your yard with plenty of sun you are fortunate. All that you need to do is to add some good compost, work it into the soil and get ready for the warm weather. You might even visit some of the fine garden shops and nurseries around town and browse through their stacks of seeds. Get them befo… Continue

A Holiday Gift That Keeps on Growing

Looking for that special holiday gift to give yourself, your family or even a friend? A vegetable garden could be the answer. There are steps to successful gardening and this city has many places that can help. A simple gift package with a list of materials and gift cards to purchase them could change some people's lives. And we hope for the better.

First think of giving a good book on vegetable gardening. We like the ones that stress organic gardening. Our favorite is: "The Vegetable Gardener'… Continue

A Challenge to Our Community, "Local: 20 by 20"

Most of us like a good challenge. Well here is one: Pikes Peak Urban Gardens (PPUG) is challenging the folks in the Pikes Peak region to grow 20% of their fresh produce by the year 2020. To help accomplish this goal PPUG will offer as many free monthly gardening classes and seminars as it takes. Seem impossible to grow that much of our own food? Actually we are probably under estimating what we can all accomplish. It wasn't so long ago (dur… Continue
