Get Growing
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. This year he’ll try yin yang beans, giant pumpkins, blue poppies and mutant sunflowers. 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
Thursday, January 31st, 2008

When it comes to yard art, I'm not a fan of chainsaw art. Sure, I can appreciate how it's made and the artistry of the whole deal, but it's just not my thing. It's what you usually find at home shows. Not this home show. What is my thing is more along the lines of what metal sculptor Dan Klennert has displayed at the Tacoma Home show, at the back of the Dome near the SK Landscaping display.

I think what caught my eye was the huge horse, probably something like 10 feet tall. I immediately wanted to climb onto it, but ultimately resisted. My fellow GetGrowing blogger Craig Sailor would be proud of me if he were here.... or he would have prodded me until I got up on the thing. He likes to see me get into trouble. It makes him feel like a superior editor.

By the way, this sculpture would look supremely cool in my front yard. Do you think my homeowners association would say anything?

Check it out.. back of the Dome. Giant rusty metal sculpture of a horse, and a few other sculptures. Can't miss it.
