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 wont be flamed and the only dumb question is the one that isnt asked.
It is impossible to hijack the Weekly Gardening Thread ... there is no telling where it will go and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!
We enjoyed our garden salad this holiday season with fresh veggies from our garden, indoors and out.
Still have several green peppers on the plants, and new starts of peppers, lemons, spinach, and lettuce in the indoor area.
Have a great weekend. God Bless.
Upstate NY here. Cold and snowy but forcing tulip bulbs even as we speak. I have an Aerogarden which I’m growing cukes in. Will be starting the notoriously slow growing peppers and eggplants the end of the month. Loving all the garden mags!! Oh and will be the first year of asparagus to harvest in the Spring.

I'm a newbie with interest in GMOs, Victory Gardens, and English-style gardens.
I read stuff but haven't really stuck with it. Maybe with thread, now is time!
Do you have a ping list?
Pinging to you.
Can I get on your ping list?
LOL. Yes, now all of a sudden I have so many gardening magazines and catalogs, that I haven’t had time to really do them justice.
What’s the old saying? When it rains it pours?.LOL
Hi Greeneyes!
Happy New Year!
Now that is the kind of landscaping which can get my blood flowing :-)
Seriously, it is the main office building in Canada of the company which makes Viagra.
I grow heirlooms to avoid GMO’s. Next summer will only be my fourth summer, but we have many who are much more experienced and knowledgable. So dive right in, and welcome.
Right back at you. Hope you had a good holiday.
Just began starting seeds for this year. Am late because we just bought this property which was nothing but trees. Just about finished with the greenhouse so will be year round from now on as Im in SC. This year I will be all non GMO and heritage seeds. Even non GMO feeds for all our animals as I am growing fodder in the greenhouse as well. Looks like it will be a good year!
I can’t believe it! Plant Porn for real.
I watched a couple of old movies.
It was actually quite nice, as I used to do a five-hour solo music act every New Years Eve, and wouldn’t get in till 3:00AM.
GMO free and year round is about as good as it gets JMHO.
"I grow heirlooms to avoid GMOs."
How do you do this? GMOs really spook me.
Not much gardening is happening here. :)
LOL. We started a low key celebration a tradition several years ago. We have family and friends over for dinner with traditional foods and an international dish to try.
We tried Chinese inspired Hot Pot - kinda like fondue. So all our meat, fish and veggies were cooked at the table. The kids loved it, and tried more veggies than they ever had before.
We didn’t have to worry about entertainment either. It took most of the night for dinner. LOL.
