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!

Our gardens are looking great for June. Except it is August?! Ah well. Christy and Edith are eating lettuce. Lettuce is bolting. We prevent bolting with a lawn chair. We are harvesting garlic. We are trying new ways to peel garlic. Edith is planting onions. Christy forgot she planted onions. Plus, we celebrate what is reblooming and ponder where are all the Japanese beetles?
Then we jump in a fun topic: Veggies and flowers with more than one use.
- Find out the unique uses for other parts of garlic, chives and leeks.
- What plants are we growing that we purposely let go to seed?
- Don’t forget some plants you can eat more than the bottom – you can eat the tops, too!
- Did you know other parts of raspberry bush are edible?
- Are you eating stems and massaging your kale? You should!
- Who the heck is Euelle Gibbons?
- We are not done! Roses, Calendula, Lavender, Nasturtium & Marigolds
