Free tomato, pepper, and basil starts for 85712 neighbors.

Pickup by appointment near Rosemont & Speedway. First week of April (April 1–7, 2026). Limited batches.

Strong, healthy starts only (if it’s not thriving, it doesn’t go out). You request what you want. I confirm what I can actually give. Simple pickup. No wandering around. No weird stuff.

2) What’s available

Right now it’s just:

  • Tomatoes

  • Peppers

  • Basil

These are indoor-started and selected for strength. If a tray isn’t looking great, it doesn’t make the cut.


3) How it works (3 steps)

  1. Request what you want (tomato/pepper/basil + roughly how many).

  2. I confirm your plants based on what’s actually ready.

  3. Pickup by appointment near Rosemont & Speedway during April 1–7, 2026.

You’ll get one message to confirm + one reminder. That’s it.


4) Rules (read these before you request)

  • 85712 only for this drop.

  • Pickup by appointment near Rosemont & Speedway (exact spot shared after confirmation).

  • Confirmation required: if you don’t reply within 4 hours, I release the plants to the next person.

  • Limit: up to 6 starts total per household (so more neighbors can get some).

  • First week of April only (April 1–7, 2026).

  • Plants are living things. I’m giving away strong starts only, but there’s always some variability.


5) Request form (intro text above the form)

Fill this out and I’ll message you to confirm what I can allocate, then we’ll set an appointment time for pickup that week.

If you don’t reply within 4 hours, I’ll release the plants to the next person so nothing sits.

Indoor-started and selected for strength before pickup week.


8) About (short)

I run Pupfish Collective in Tucson as a small “living lab” — practical experiments meant to be copied, not admired. This drop is just surplus strong starts going to nearby neighbors first.
