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!
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.
If I do that, it will be the first and only time that I will have used it or any other such stuff. Usually I use the pepper,garlic,onion,oil and dishwashing liquid mixture.
If that doesn’t do it, I just let it go. I’ll have to think on it a bit more.
You are doing good. When I get busy, I do sometimes forget to water the plants. Hubby usually catches it though.
I feel your pain. We have frost warnings for Monday,Tuesday and Friday. Soon winter will be over here. Though, it uncertain if we will have spring or jump right into summer.
Progressing for sure. We are a bit ahead here, since we don’t have snow still on the ground.
Good to know. Thanks.
I don't have the brand name in front of me. I got it at Lowes.
Injecting 4 acres of vines would be a serious PITA.

I'd say unbelievable but anything is believable now days. There have been similar articles in the past couple of years.
How about your gut? Any studies about effects on humans? I already got a belly full of DDT growing up. Mom used to sprinkle it along the back of the cabinets like it was flour. Then she’d take the canisters, toasters, etc and set them out so that you couldn’t see the DDT. Course it was in all the base cabinets too.
Once a week, I had the job of cleaning off all the counter’s and mopping and making sure the kitchen was clean. I’d clean that DDT up on Saturday, and Sunday, she would come in and put a fresh batch down.

Oh, lawzy! I have some of those matches in the kitchen drawer!!!!!! They’re so old they probably don’t strike anymore, but don’t tell the feds. Ya know, there’s probably some cough medicine in the medicine cabinet and cheap store brand tea bags in the pantry that could be claimed to be a knock off of Trayvon’s fav beverage. “They” go out of their way these days to make up anything to charge you with. Next they’ll be shooting your dogs for no reason.... oh, never mind.
Ok.
Okay. That is the same as Dipel(tm) gut wrencher BT. Perfectly safe for people.
And you are correct. I ain’t gonna crawl up and down four acres of vine. Summer would be up before I got to the end of the first row.
“Just saw this article on yahoo about the feds raiding customers of garden stores:”
Hydroponic garden store in Illinois. Maybe people who grow it use hydroponic method inside? One of those people they checked out was a father and son using hydroponics to grow something inside but it wasn’t marijuana.
Got any leftover Sudafed? Look out!
WOW! OMG! What a hair raising experience! Definitely not your “Officer Friendly” types!
Sad, huh? *shaking head*
I had heard at some point that grow lights were considered a problem with law enforcement because of folks raising contraband crops in basements...but this is new wrinkle to me.
I was hoping to get out to my land this weekend and get more landscaping fabric pinned down. But, I managed to catch something a couple of days ago and decided to stick near the house. I was able to get that last rabbit fence moved, though. Tomorrow I hope to get the wall-o-waters out and get the backyard garden beds planted.
I scored a nice strainer on shopgoodwill.com this week. Normally $80 or higher, I got it for $23. I’m hoping it will make my canning easier.
