Okay, so that absolutely ridiculous headline means Shouse needs a weekend. And there’s a pineapple vodka gimlet with my name on it waiting at Matchbox, with a Unibroue beer for a chaser.
Now for the point of the headline: Tomorrow and Sunday mark the annual organic plant seedling sale at Kilbourn Park Greenhouse. This sale is (1) always awesome (they have fantastic heirloom tomatoes and any other edible plant you can think of), (2) always packed, (3) the best way to save money this summer by growing your own eats, and (4) the best way to avoid nightmarish lines at Stanley’s when all you need is a handful of basil. Hit it up after you’re done cruising all the farmers’ markets on our list.
So go. Buy lots. Plant them quick. Watch them grow.
Sat 17 and Sun 18, 10am–2pm (3501 N Kilbourn Ave).
