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!

And just how supple do you think Sleeping Beauty was after she slept for a hundred years? It does have something to do with gardening, we swear.
We discuss the unique requirements to grow perennial vegetables: rhubarb, horseradish, artichoke, asparagus and leek. They come back year after year with minimum care. And not just for food: here’s a recipe to lighten your hair naturally with rhubarb. We also reveal the answer to why asparagus makes your pee smell funny and the artichoke’s secret: it is mainly a butter delivery service, let’s be honest.
Great tips on caring for your forsythia bush, potted or not. And a quote by Derek Jarman that ends like this ”…..it’s the amen beyond the prayer.” That quote alone is worth your time.
SPECIAL TREAT: Not only do we have a new "Ask Agnes" sketch for you, but we couldn't resist bringing back "Stranger Garden Things" and Christy's beloved Rhubarb. BARB!!!
