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
Posted by Sue Kidd @ 03:04:17 pm

Let's just say we are huge fans of Sue Goetz, owner of the Creative Gardener in Gig Harbor. Sue wrote a series for us last summer called "Fix My Yard." She offered great advice for people with gardens almost as tragically bad as mine.

Sue's speaking about reinventing your garden right now in the Green Theater. Ummm, yeah, you think I should be in there? Uh huh. Yeah probably. But no, I'm out here blogging like a fiend to feed you readers valuable information about the show.

Sue will appear at the show through the weekend. Her seminars are:

FRIDAY: 3 p.m., "No Fear Garden Design"
SATURDAY: 3 p.m., "Color in the Garden"

Also appearing this weekend are Ed Hume (Friday at 2 p.m.) and Ciscoe Morris and Meeghan Black (2 p.m. Saturday).

Oh! Linda Chalker Scott, the WSU professor, will be here this weekend too. She'll talk at noon Friday and Saturday. We'll also have a feature about Linda later this month in the Saturday Home&Garden section.
