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!

A busy & confusing time in the garden! Kathryn makes out with a tree and Christy is pickled. Tomatoes are coming in, but not strawberries or zucchinis. The sunflowers are drooping and the cabbage needs squeezing.
Then, we get into no-dig gardening: a growing method which feeds your soil, helps control weeds and saves your back in the process. We’ll share what easy supplies you need, when to start, where are the best spots and how big a plot you should have. Plus: Why lime can help get rid of grass? How do twigs help with clay soil? What is the difference between hay and straw? And all the things you can compost. (Including YOU!?)
Plus we have a brand new pod play, handcrafted just for the gardener: MsMarbles and the Mystery of the Missing Zucchini!
