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, May 9th, 2008

We've been receiving great response to our plea for pictures of yards that are a tragic mess (you know it if you have one).

We have Gig Harbor garden designer Sue Goetz on standby with all kinds of garden advice. We're sorting through the photos now and we're about to select a handful of yards that we'll hand off to Sue Goetz. She'll offer her advice for shaping up your space. (No actual labor though, that's what you get to do.) Watch for the story in early June.

There's still time to get photos of your tragic mess of a yard to us, but hurry and send them by Monday. E-mail your pictures to gardenphotos@thenewstribune.com or mail to Sue Kidd, Lifestyle Editor, The News Tribune, 1950 S. State. St., Tacoma WA 98405.

Take a look at the yard here. It belongs to Dean and Susan Williams in Puyallup. Do you have any advice for this blank space in their yard? If this was your mess, what would you do? Email your words of garden wisdom to gardenphotos@thenewstribune.com.
