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
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
Posted by Craig Sailor @ 09:21:44 pm

Steve Lorton was a longtime staff member of venerable Sunset magazine. Now the magazine's Ambassador, he represents them at garden shows and other events. He led an informative media tour that Sue and I took at the Northwest Flower and Garden show in February.

Steve will be talking about "My Life in Other's People's Gardens" Saturday, May 10 at Lakewold Gardens.

The event, from 1-4 p.m., is free to members of the Northwest Perennial Alliance and $5 for all others.

It's also the final day of MayFest which Lakewold calls "a celebration of spring with a festival of events including exhibits, demonstrations and more."
