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!

We’re thrice potting cucumbers and shaking seed heads, all while exploring the world of vines. So much more than just a conveyance for Tarzan, vines shelter, give beauty, grow food, attract pollinators and hide unsightly views. Not even to mention that’s how grapes grow and that’s what makes wine!
Which vine’s seeds cause paralysis, labored breathing and convulsions- and still has “sweet” in its name? (That may be taking forgiveness a step too far.)
Let us introduce you to the Lazy Housewife Pole Bean and the Asian Winged Bean. The first is not a Victorian insult and the second is not an anime superhero. They’re beans you can grow in Zones 3-11 and who doesn’t want to grow colorfully named beans?
Also - learn about trumpet vine, honeysuckle, morning glory and how to grow your own loofah sponge and more! Do you have thistle weeds? We have tips on how best to get rid of it in Mail Bag. And two fun new "pod plays" made just for the gardener. Boom chicka boom boom!
