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 harvest o’ clock - the happy hour of the garden. In this episode, Christy and Edith offer a cornucopia of information on how to harvest all the veggies you have carefully tended this summer. Learn when to harvest over 25 different vegetables!
- Broccoli needs to be tight.
- Corn should be milky.
- Use your fingernail on squash.
- Smell your melon.
- And protect your tomatoes from... SQUIRRELS!
Edith talks about a decades old harvesting mistake she made that haunts her to this day. Christy made a harvesting blooper last season that is in her attic. But is it, like a famous cat, still alive? Is it Schrödinger’s harvest?!
We come to the epiphany that “blame the real estate agent” is a working philosophy for life. Plus, the Grateful Dead and the Three Stooges drop in for guest spots. Informative and humorous, we’d love to share it with you. Check out more at upsidedowntulips.com
