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.

If you’re looking for remodeling ideas, you’ll find them in abundance at this weekend’s 11th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes, sponsored by the Master Builders Association of Pierce County.

A total of 15 homes will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets are $15 in advance at Harborstone Credit Union or $20 on the day of the tour. Proceeds benefit the Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital Helping Hands Fund.

You can tour as many or as few projects as you wish, in any order. You’ll find a remodeled kitchen in Puyallup, an outdoor living room in Milton, a whole-house remodel in Lakewood and a few kitchen/living room combinations in Tacoma, along with many other projects.

You can get a sneak preview of each remodeling effort, along with details about the project and driving directions to the home, on the tour Web site, www.mba-tour.com.

For more information, call 253-272-2112 or check the tour Web site.
