Weekly Garden Thread - July 4-10, 2020
July 4, 2020 | Diana in Wisconsin/Greeneyes

Posted on 07/04/2020 6:46:40 AM PDT by Diana in Wisconsin

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.

If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located.

This thread is non-political respite. 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! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you'd like to be added to our New & Improved Ping List.

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 to Gardeners are welcomed any time!

Sometimes Vets will give you one for free, or loan you one if you return it with no damages. Mine does.

Good Luck!

The tomatillos I started from seed last month are already making little tiny tomatillos!

They’re in a pot so they won’t spread.

They make yummy salsa.

Dinner tonight was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas and carrots and salad.

Everything except the meatloaf was grown in my backyard.

So satisfied tonight. God is good!

I’m glad you know about tomatillos! I made that mistake a long time ago - as well as planting mint in the ground, LOL!

We had the first sweet corn of the season last night - granted it was from southern Indiana, but at least it was Made In America!

New thread is up for the week!

I’ll have to try the cone, if all else fails.

“Lucky” hates the vinegar, but licks it off rapidly anyway. So at least it’s in his system.
