Hi! We are Christy and Edith, backyard gardeners from Colorado. Lately, we have noticed more and more people picking our brains for tips and trouble-shooting about gardening. We think it’s kinda funny, because we’re not experts. We just learned a lot about gardening from the mistakes we made along the way. You always hear about Victory gardens – but what about all the garden failures? Gardening is about learning, experimenting and rolling with the punches. Every week we share our most epic garden failures and our biggest garden lessons. Most gardens are the result of trial and error. To reduce your chance of failure, join us in our gardens. And learn why you should plant your tulips butt side down. Winner of Best New Podcast at 2020 Colorado Podcast Awards!

What Ho! This week Leslie and Christy try to class up the joint with their take on a Shakespearian Garden. From Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet to A Midsummers Night’s Dream, we give you some beautiful verses from the Bard of Avon - and some tips and tricks on some of the flora and fauna from his plays. We cover familiar plants like roses, pansies, daisies, lavender, mint, parsley, bachelor buttons, and marigolds. And then we gift you with the knowledge of rue, crow flowers, woodbine, musk rose, oxlips, and eglantine.
Oh – and we have fun Shakespearean Pod Plays, too! And some really bad Shakespearean Puns. You are gonna feel so much smarter and joyful!
And we have updates on Leslie’s first attempt at Winter Sowing, Christy’s Forsythia - and what is growing the best so far. Spoiler: It’s Weeds. Fortunately, we have a great garden inspiration from Henry IV, Part 2 about weeding. Good cheer, dear gardeners!
