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.
Good question. I am needing to be flexible this summer and not be tied down to a garden. On top of that, with classes and some of the other projects, I don’t want to get a bunch of experiments started only to have to sacrifice them.
We started the celery root on a whim, and can probably handle that easily as an indoor potted plant.
While I would like to immediately try out some of the things I’m learning in class, and that might be better, I just don’t have time this year! I’m focusing on just collecting the data.
Cluster Bean (Gawar) - those might come in handy in hard times.
Anytime you buy a bag of dried beans at the grocery store, save back a few to try in the garden.
If the weather isn’t kind or you can’t get to your pole beans, the immature seeds inside a damaged skin can be cooked and eaten.
Copied and saved, thank you!
Those are both great tips! Thanks!
You are welcome! I hope they help.
I outsourced some of my ceramics, since I know I won't have a ceramic furnace here now or in the future... I need to do the same with some of the metal casting bucket list. I may be able to do that if I live through the next year or so, but there are a few things I'll have to outsource.
Oh well. I've got time to do a search now.
