The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds.
From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you.
This thread is non-political, although you will find that most here are conservative folks. No matter what, you won’t be flamed and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked.
It is impossible to hijack the Weekly Gardening Thread. Planting, Harvest to Table(recipes)preserving, good living - there is no telling where it will go and... that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!
NOTE: This is a once a week ping list. We do post to the thread during the week. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest are welcomed, so feel free to post them at any time.
We’re getting 5 or 6 Amish paste tomatoes every day.
Another variety didn’t do well but has produced a dozen nice tomatoes so far. I think a disease came with the seed...
Did you happen to see post 136 on last weeks thread?
I did now that you mention it. That was really sweet. Thank you.
That picture was just too cute.
Right now the chipmunks are eating beans of various types.
The cats dug up all my container plants/window boxes last night. Mama is NOT happy. They didn’t get canned food for breakfast.
With 100 degree temps, every garden I’ve seen (TX) is already burned up. Those plastic greenhouses would have cooked plants here. We need air conditioning on them.
Nice looking garlic. I need to add some new varieties to what I put in this fall.
I would marry you in a heartbeat for your garlic stash!
P.S. Don’t tell Mrs. Bender! ;)
These are German Red and the earlier ones were Chinese Red . I think I planted 10 or 12 varieties when I first started going it and started weeding them down and this year was just 2 but more rows of each...
I’ll put your name on the list but you drew a poor number...
Cukes, squash and tomatoes are on a role,but some of the cukes are bitter. Why? Sometimes, cukes from the same plant, one is excellent and the other bitter. Why?

Dahlias should be dug and divided every 2 or 3 years as the tubers multiply so fast but we do not have freezing temps here on Humboldt Bay, maybe a week of 27 to 30 degrees
I’m SO sorry for your loss! Losing a Sister is tough. Prayers Up for you, My Friend. *HEART*
And WHY don’t I grow Dahlia? I used to grow, ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ from seed; why did I stop? The burgundy foliage ALONE is worth the price of admission!
Give him a try!

I think I counted 14 or 15 12 foot rows of various garlic...
Everything must eat something that was once alive.
