Laramie has several nice city parks, including LaBonte Park. It is not particularly noteworthy overall: it has a stinky lake (creatively nicknamed "Stink Lake" by the locals), a few trees, and a somewhat odd jungle gym-type exercise circuit for adults that seems a questionable use of taxpayer monies.
However, it does have a very nice community garden, and we were lucky enough to get a plot this season!
We've learned that Laramie only has a 56-day growing season, so things are off to a slow start, but we're still very excited to learn about high-altitude, short season gardening!
While we wait for things to warm a bit, we've broken up the soil and applied some fertilizer courtesy of the garden coordinator, who happens to have a llama farm (the polite term for it is "llama beans"). Fun!
More updates to follow, and until then, we hope you've managed to beat the heat wherever this may find you!
