Upside Down Tulips - A Garden Podcast

Christy & Edith

Hi! We are Christy and Edith, backyard gardeners from Colorado. Lately, we have noticed more and more people picking our brains for tips and trouble-shooting about gardening. We think it’s kinda funny, because we’re not experts. We just learned a lot about gardening from the mistakes we made along the way. You always hear about Victory gardens – but what about all the garden failures? Gardening is about learning, experimenting and rolling with the punches. Every week we share our most epic garden

2021/08/18

The ubiquitous bane of the gardener - Bindweed. There seem be at least 50 ways to fight your bindweed - pulling, snipping, solarizing, suffocating, boiling, blow torching (really), using strong chemicals that kill everything around it and sometimes leaving bindweed standing alone on the hill, victory flag in hand. Yes, gardeners, it’s war. We’re on your side discussing what could work and how long it could take. Note: Be patient. And presenting 3 short comedies to ease your (and our)

2021/08/11

We’re talking ways to save water that is both nutritious and free. There’s more to watering than what comes from your hose. We’re talking rainwater, gray water, black water, cooking water. One of these things is not like the other, however. How to collect water, store it, apply it to your garden. How to help save your lawn and water bill in this heat. From sprinklers, soaker hoses, rain barrels, and water absorbing polymers to aeration and hydrozoning, we cover this topic as thoroughly as the

51. The Best Garden Tips Are From Your Good Friends

Upside Down Tulips - A Garden Podcast ·

2021/07/28

We discuss what we (and hopefully you) learned from each other this past year. Like how to do your own soil test, and what is Soil Pep? (It has nothing to do with pompoms or short skirts). We discuss gardening by grid, taking suckers off of tomato plants, how to garden without disrupting the natural way of things, why Christy has changed her mind on a certain store bought fertilizer and what went horribly, nauseatingly wrong with Edith’s Bokashi experiment. Gardening is not for the squeamish.

We then talk 50 ways to kill your Japanese beetles. You could sweep, bag, spray, trap, grind, or entice them with a lovely fruit cocktail. (Fruit cocktail? What is this, 1954?)

We’re thrice potting cucumbers and shaking seed heads, all while exploring the world of vines. So much more than just a conveyance for Tarzan, vines shelter, give beauty, grow food, attract pollinators and hide unsightly views. Not even to mention that’s how grapes grow and that’s what makes wine! Which vine’s seeds cause paralysis, labored breathing and convulsions- and still has “sweet” in its name?
