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 ... there is no telling where it will go and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!
I hope what you said makes more sense to someone else than it did to me. I am totally clueless when it comes to posting pictures.
My daughter had to sit next to me and instruct me step by step when I posted some pictures, and I still can’t remember how to do it.LOL.
Seems to be par for the course. We had freezing temps that night (first day of spring).
LOL... I have lost so many brain cells that even my kids can’t help me. It’s fun to post on FR again since the new server was installed and speeds are lightening fast...
I’m adding that to my list of top 10 wishes.
OOLALA. Thanks for the pictures. Seeing all that green makes me feel perky.LOL.
Thanks so much for putting forth the effort to give great details and pictures of the process you use for starting seeds. I am sure that it will be helpful for many of us on the thread.
Last year I was thinking that if the warmer weather was what the global warming predictions were all about,I was liking it pretty good. This year I’m wondering if they’ll go back to predicting the next ice age.
Thanks for the link.
Yes indeed. It is soooo much better now to post. Well at least you can post pictures, I can’t even do that.LOL
If you like wasabi, try horseradish.
Huge leaves that are edible and have a mild horseradish flavor.
But beware! Grows like a weed, and will send out roots and form new branches from them.
Loves water, so give it as much as it will take.
What website do you store the photos you want to post? I can try to help you if it’s Flickr as they have made it much easier. Tip to remember is to use a screen name and not your given name on any site if you want to remain anonymous. Mine is Photo Bender
Also got a copy of ‘Encyclopedia of Country Living’. Love love love this book. It literally has *everything* explained.
Nice picture. Thanks.
I used photobucket that one time. I just don’t do much of that stuff. Even when I figure it out, the next day I don’t remember how to do it.
I can’t even remember what the id and passwork I used were. I’m sure I wrote it down somewhere, but haven’t found it yet. Can’t even remember how to use the scanner.
I really have too many irons in the fire right now to try and figure anything out. Don’t have any pics to share right now anyway.
Thanks for the offer, I’ll take a rain check. Maybe this summer I’ll have some nice pics and it’ll be worth posting.
I’m ordering some earthgrow pots, for my sweet peppers. My hot peppers do fine in my raised gardens.
The mesquite beans make a wonderful jelly too, just don’t keep the jelly, even sealed, over 10 months, it turns black, as does the honey. I agree TEXOKIE, mesquite has a wonderful flavor for cooking. Mac & cheese are improved when baked in a pit using mesquite.
When did you plant the seeds for the sw. peppers?
Actually, I had some bell peppers that I babied thru the heat of the summer. We got a few small peppers to use in salads. I let them in the garden and in fall, I had to put in stakes and tie the limbs to keep them from breaking. Had a few that were larger than softballs.
