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!

Greetings Bad-Ass Backyard Gardeners! The ever-witty and future pop-star Karen returns to UDT and we chat about what’s blooming our gardens, what’s died, and what is just being plain pokey. Plus, find out the unique way Karen aerates her lawn, how Christy made an unintended birdfeeder, and why bears are like cats.
Then, we take our grubby hands and dig into the beautiful bug everyone loves to hate. Founder of Phyllom Bio Products and ever-wise, John Libs, comes back to continue our ever-growing series on organic Japanese Beetles mitigation. Learn all about this garden enemy and why Spring is a great time to plan your attack. Then we discuss the benefits of soap & water, neem oil, milky spore, traps and grubGONE! So, unless you want to hope for a flock of crows to descend into your yard at just the right moment, this is the podcast for you.
Surprise! Edith sent a letter to Mailbag (Ring Ring!) and we giggle at all her updates – and sympathize why sometimes, despite our best efforts, things just don’t grow. Ah well, we have laughs, joy and inspiration to help! Let’s all smell like dirt, OK?
Check out grubGONE! & beetleGONE!
