I recently found this at a thrift store for $3.00!
I cannot recommend this book enough. I just love it.

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 a 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!
What are your coldest winter temps where you live? Do you need any shade cloth, even in the winter months?
I am sure they come out much prettier in a pastry bag.
Mom had that album when I was a kid. We loved it. Also The Chipmunks (which my Dad hated, so we played that often, LOL!) Nat King Cole and you cannot beat the Andy Williams Christmas album.
Remember his TV specials? Such good, clean, Christmas fun!
Thanks!
Haven’t had a frost in more than ten years. Temps these days are low to mid sixties at night, low eighties during the day. Will be cooler in January. The salad table gets dappled sunlight rather than shade cloth. It sits behind the giant tomato vine and near a deciduous oak tree.
With us both being from Chicago, we frequented the original Spice House in Evanston. Nice to see them online and we have ordered a few times from them. We only use smoked sweet paprika and get it from Butcher Packer in Detroit. It is the best smoked paprika ever IMO. Cheap too, one bag will last a long time. Link here -
A 1.1 pound bag only 8.95. I get all my sausage making stuff there, casings etc. Great company.
Wait a minute is this the Cooking Thread??

Perfect! You’ll help keep me SANE when I’m up to my butt in snowdrifts. :)
“Wait a minute is this the Cooking Thread?”
A. Always!
B. I think the Monthly Cooking Thread has been retired. :(
Charlie Brown Christmas.
It was on only once a year and everything stopped for that. The whole family gathered around the TV with snacks and soda for that one.
No,it’s still happening.

It just needs to be keyworded with “cooking” to find it easily.
Lovely graphic!
Thank you!
Thanks! I remember Jamestown saying she wanted to pass the torch. I will check it out. :)
You can’t beat the “Sunset’ series of books.
And, I used to watch ‘The Victory Garden’ on PBS. The cook (Marian?) taught me that not every meal needed to include meat (LOL!) and Roger Swain was so dedicated to growing root vegetables, it was nearly cult-like. ;)
I didn’t make the skirt - it was made by an elderly aunt in Indiana in her church crafts group in the 70s. It was gifted to my mother and I inherited it after my mother passed in 2019.
I consider it a priceless family heirloom.
I can see that. I love scrap quilting.
I remember watching Victory Garden, too.
Somewhere, in a box, I have my 70s-80s Rodale’s Magazine of Organic Farming & Gardening collection. Best fast, hot compost pile building instructions, ever.
Also on the shelf is my Better Gardens the Troy Bilt Way.
So many others, but the Sunset books, and I have several editions, and other titles, too, are really the best for quick reference.
