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
Friday, February 1st, 2008
Posted by Sue Kidd @ 05:19:04 pm

So fellow SoundLife staffer Craig Hill was just giving me grief about the SuperBowl -- because I have no intention of watching it on Sunday. He knows I don't get sports. I was editing one of his stories not long ago and it took him nearly three minutes and two follow-up e-mails to explain the phrase "shagging home run balls." Hey, I'm a features editor, not a sports editor.

This is why I'll be at the Tacoma Home and Garden show on Sunday. I'll be the one buying the hebes and coveting the metal sculptures at the southeast corner of the Dome (scroll down people and check out the pic). I'll also be the one hanging out in the Click lounge with my laptop picking up on any free WiFi I can find. That's my idea of a good Sunday.

Read on for a few things I found while at the show yesterday.

Show details:

WHAT: Tacoma Home & Garden Show
