In late May I mentioned the garden under construction at 15th and California in downtown Denver but didn’t show any pictures of it because it had just been laid out. Garden in downtown Denver 2009 The reddish building behind it is Wolf’s Camera.

It’s looking much more like a garden now, a nice oasis along 15th Street. Tiri's Garden 1 Denver June 2009

There’s not much shade, but when this arbor gets covered with vines, it will be a cool retreat on a warm afternoon. Tiri's Garden 3 Denver June 2009

Various businesses have sponsored the beds and donated supplies and plants. Tiri's Garden 4 Denver June 2009

    I was just at the Bug Theatre last night for the Emerging Filmmaker Project. They mentioned Squirm Burpee there, of course. Have you heard any reviews good or bad of it? All I gathered from the announcement was that it was “like you’d expect from the Bug” which I think essentially means “low budget and weird.”

    Are those plants large leaf rhubarb? I got some rhubarb from a neighbor two nights ago from the largest bush I have ever seen and it was delicious. It was blooming and over 8 ft. tall and at least that large in diameter.

    Betty, I don’t know what those plants are. They may be rhubarb, but I’m not sure I would recognize it.

    Todd, I haven’t heard any reviews of Squirm Burpee. But why would you expect anything with such a name to be normal?

    The people working at Wolf’s Camera probably like the improvement. 🙂
