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.

Hey gardeners. Are you watching this crazy snowfall outside today? Anyone go crazy and plant anything early this year? If so, are you regretting it? Tell us how your garden is faring during this unusual cold-warm-cold snap we've had the last few days. If this keeps up, I won't be digging that garden bed this weekend...

This just in....

How can you get lichens off fruit trees and keep them off? I don't see them in commercial orchards. Is there a spray you can use?

Anyone have advice? Comment away. Allegedly our comments are working again. If you have trouble, just e-mail me your snappy reply at sue.kidd@thenewstribune.com
