Craig Sailor is the Arts & Entertainment editor at The News Tribune. Last year he planted his first vegetable garden. Focusing on unusual varieties, “Freak of Nature” returns for 2008 with a new crop of uncommon vegetables and flowers.

He gardens at his North End Tacoma home and sneaks seeds in to his mother’s garden at Willapa Bay when she’s not looking. E-mail him at craig.sailor@thenewstribune.com.

Sue Kidd is the Lifestyle Editor at The News Tribune and the ringleader for the Home&Garden section. She is a decent vegetable gardener, but occasionally a tragic mess at growing other stuff. She’ll blog about gardening events, gadgets, her weird obsession with guerrilla gardening and all her assorted garden disasters. E-mail her with thoughts/rants/questions/bizarre observations. sue.kidd@thenewstribune.com.

A Gardening Blog
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007
Posted by Marce Edwards @ 06:46:10 am

I am a pretty good gardener. No really. My neighbors who look at my yard with its morning glories winding around a badly pruned laurel tree might disagree. But at my last house I had a beautiful rose garden, pond blooming with water lilies and a vegetable garden that yielded enough tomatoes and carrots to feed a small town.

Then I had kids. Two wonderful kids. And I surrendered almost all of my free time to hanging out with them. For the past few seasons, I grew assorted vegetables in the backyard , and I planted a few perennials and annuals.

But this year, I plan to focus some of that family time on the garden.

Together, we will start seeds, cultivate vegetables, pull weeds and fend off slugs.

We have a small space with two raised beds and several large pots. Much more is coming. And to all you neighbors out there - stay tuned.
