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!Copyright 2020 All rights reserved. Arte Entretenimiento y Artes Escénicas

    Spring has officially sprung, and the garden is bursting with life! Flowers are blooming, veggies are growing, and—surprise!—some plants are totally taking over. Edith’s garden is overrun with greens, Christy’s garden is a dandelion jungle, and yes… some plants didn’t make it. (insert moment of silence here) Ah well! Onward we go.

    This week, we dig into:

    122. Can You Dig It? 8 Reasons Why Gardens Matter
    Jan 15 2025
    Edith’s potatoes may have gone to the dark side, but we are forging ahead with the small and enjoyable garden tasks of winter and dreaming of our 2025 garden. So, let us inspire your next garden with all the many benefits and joys of gardening! We have gathered our top reasons why we garden: From health to wealth. From making friends to murdering carrots. From learning to lunging. And filled with little tips and tricks and laughs along the way. It’s seed catalog season so, we have stuffed this episode with THREE funny pod plays about our favorite reason to go to the mailbox. Speaking of mail: We got a letter from Lindsey delivered to our mailbag (Ring! Ring!) about her garden trials and dreams – an inspiring letter of resilience and renewal. Need even more inspiration? Christy has some! Bonus: Leonardo DiCatrio makes an appearance. Can you find him? So, grab a cup of tea, a glass of wine or clean those garden tools - while you join us!

  • 121. Autumn Garden 2024 - What Grew, What Died & What Chewed

    121. Autumn Garden 2024 - What Grew, What Died & What Chewed
    Oct 23 2024

    Fallelujah! A pretty darn good year in the garden. No hail, no frost, no covering – yet.

    Edith grew ground cherries. Christy grew zinnias. We both grew a lot of tomatoes. Edith might have killed her peach tree. Christy mysteriously killed her cabbage. We both killed our rosemary. Aphids chewed, Japanese beetle chewed, mildew took up residence.

    So, it all resulted in a lot of learning, we hope you can learn, too!

    • Why you should keep your compost a little drunk.
    • Why it’s never too late to plant. Or too early.
    • What seeds need to be fresh as a carrot
    • What plant can benefit from calcium tablets
    • Should you get a Japanese Beetle Trap?
    • How much work do you really have to do this fall?

    And some humor with all this education! We’ve got two NEW pod plays to keep you and all the lilac bushes in good humor. And some inspiration to last the upcoming Persphone Period. So, pick up a rake, do a little harvesting or put your weary feet up with a cup of cider and enjoy this season’s fun and informative episode!

    Oh – and stick around past the end credits for a little easter egg.
