The Victory Garden Thread - March, 2026
March 1, 2026 | Diana in WI/Greeneyes in Memoriam

Posted on 03/01/2026 5:58:25 AM PST by Diana in Wisconsin

The MONTHLY Gardening Thread is a 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 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/removed from our New & Improved Ping List.

NOTE: This is a once a MONTH Ping List, but we DO post to the thread all throughout the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to Gardeners are welcomed any time.

I didn’t really mean it was the same bird, just that there are already Oriole scouts out there for us if we catch a glimpse of them.

I guess I won’t expect much from these pepper seeds then. It will be nice when it’s truly Spring and fear of freezing is past. Then I can really get into planting.

Yesterday I repotted my gloriosa Lily tuber from my sister (originally Grandma’s), and wouldn’t you know, some varmint dug it up overnight. I have a mess on the deck to clean up once this rain ends. I hope the tuber isn’t damaged. They are so delicate.

Goodbye ticks and chiggers, leaves and underbrush! Nice layer of ash to encourage new growth. (And easier to find your morel mushrooms!)

Good timing! Lots of rain today Rolla eastward to the Mississippi!
