It’s our Second Anniversary and Edith’s last show!  This one has all the feels.  Find out what is going on in our garden during the dog’s days of summer.  Then we share a bunch of garden tips and tricks we forgot to tell you over the last year.  Including answers to such burning questions like:

• How to tell if you have Verticillium wilt and what to do about it?

Plus BRAND NEW pod plays of The Old Woman Who Used to Live in a Show and Antelope Twomey.  And a surprise mailbag that has us in tears.  Don’t worry – lots of laughs, too.

Thrifty gardeners, take note. This is all about doing it yourself.  You can collect your own seeds, (but be very careful of one thing),  make your own seed pots, fertilizer, compost, pesticides, soil test and potting soil.  All organic, mostly made with stuff you have in your shed or pantry.

Plus a quick reprise of the ever popular Bokashi and the many maggots story. And why kids eating mud pies could be a very good thing.

It’s June, and the garden is action packed. There are peas to be harvested, garlic scapes to collect, and it’s time to resow or replant seedlings that didn’t make it.  Is it too late to winter sow?  You might be surprised by the answer.

Speaking of surprises, see how our gardens both surprise us (Wow!) and frustrate us (Ugh!) We talk  radishes, roses, iris, leeks, peaches and aloe vera. Take action now to battle weeds, bugs, powdery mildew, and unpredictable weather.  We'll show you how. And take note: The Japanese beetles are coming!

Gardeners care about the planet, and if you are choosing between a lawn, an alternative, or a mix of the two - we have some very pertinent info on how to mow, how to water, how to fertilize, carbon removers, forever chemicals, ground covers and what kind of grasses are good for your zone.  

And while you mull over these questions you can also:

• Celebrate what is blooming in our gardens.  (Yay!)

As Antelope Twomey, the Poet Laureate of Wyoming would say, “It’s mandatory”.

With World Naked Gardening Day just around the corner on May 7, we thought we would share one of our favorite pod plays.  

Good laughs and celebrating the garden are what we are all about at Upside Down Tulips.  Most of the time we even have clothes on. We will be back next week with a brand new episode filled with our fun garden tips and tricks and bad jokes.

Judy Seaborn, founder of Botanical Interests seed company, stops by to share her favorite gardening mistakes - and gives us so many great tips.

• Which plants won’t benefit from starting early? 

Plus:  If you plant onions in a circle do you get onion rings? Dandelions - good for bees or not? (The controversy begins.)  We talk mugwort and borage, two ‘witchy” herbs.  And we celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday with podplays featuring Hamlet and Ophelia; and Imaboil and Esmepus, 2 witches from Macbeth. Learn and laugh with us!

To celebrate National Gardending Day on April 14, we packed this episode with a wheelbarrow full of Spring tips and tricks!  

Then, we give you something new!   We interview an expert:  Brittany Pimental, the Equity and Food Access Director at Denver Urban Gardens.  We learned so much. Just about every city has a community garden program and they’re there to help you.  We learn about viable seeds in ancient Egyptian tombs. Sustainability swaps? No, not a way to reignite the spark in a marriage. Find out what a food swamp is and if you’re in one.

Plus, Edith has a garden hack that grosses Christy out. Edith gets bleeped for the third time and Christy dreams of Japanese beetles. And what’s this about thanking your tool?

Can you smell the lilac? It’s all about common and not so common scents in the garden. Combat the malodorous smells of modern times - the exhaust, the garbage, your overly patchoulied co-worker - with the gentle scents that certain trees and plants will provide. Which ones are our favorites, which ones have medicinal properties, which plant can be sowed straight from a teabag. Listen as a letter from Doug gives instructions on building a chicken wire rabbit deterrent fence that just might work.  And enjoy a new pod play parody on the TV show, Succession!
