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.

This is where I found the hacks:

That’s why I asked; we’ll have to do our own research.

It is the 21st of February, and here in southern New Hampshire it is 72 degrees. We have honey bees all over our bird feeders. Barb mixed up some sugar syrup and placed it near the feeders, but they are sticking to the seeds.

The good news is that observing our two hives, I see bees flying in and out, which indicates that thus far, our two colonies appear to have survived this winter. I hope it continues.
