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!

It’s our Curmudgeon’s Goodbye to 2020. Rosemary is for remembrance, parsley for regret. We remember our first podcast in which we stressed that we’re not experts, we garden by trial and error. And error. And error. So, we celebrate our Top Ten Garden Mistakes:
- Like the magical thinking Edith displayed in not taking out her ailing raspberry canes years ago.
- Christy not mulching soon enough, to the dismay of her tomatoes (Yes, Virginia, tomatoes have emotions),
- And not drying enough parsley before the frost.
- We share stories from “Gardeners Throw in the Trowel” (don’t do it!)
- What theater and gardening have in common.
And our Top Ten Garden Victories: growing cantaloupe successfully for the first time, a zucchini plant that stays in bounds, and Christy gardens butt out in her front yard with defiance: “Enjoy the View!”
