Is the suspense killing you? If you're trying to figure out how to get armloads of fresh food on the cheap, here's a novel idea: Grow your own with Denver Urban Gardens. Sign up for a patch of land in one of its 80-plus community gardens (and soon - space goes fast), and you'll get about 150 square feet to grow whatever you want, from cucumbers to carnations (check this handy-dandy guide for tips). Plus, you'll make friends with your plot-mates (even if they don't appreciate your garden gnomes). DUG also hosts potlucks and harvest festivals, and will teach ya how to go organic and compost for free - in case step one feels like a mystery.
