Alex Eylar carefully cultivated this puzzle, which plays on the phrase THE PLOT THICKENS. Four themed answers riff on plot as in a garden plot: DIRT CHEAP, GRASS ROOTS, BUSH LEAGUE, and JUNGLE GYM ("bars that kids go to?"). Note how they get progressively thicker vegetation in order.
I thought "Texas city seen in many westerns" would be *EL PESO, but it's LAREDO.
"Sacred peak in Greek myth" is MT. IDA, which was last spotted on April 26.
Clever clue: "Pop a fly?" is SWAT.
Say, why did this take so long? I knew everything. I should have done it in a JIF.
