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.

Yes, thank goodness.
Just leave them alone. Don’t cut anything right now.
They will come out when it warms up for good in the spring. IF they come out and you’ve got a scheduled freeze you need to cover them up for that night though.
In general though, just leave them be for right now. They’re dormant and sleeping.
When did you plant these out?
I just found those wall chargers with usb ports on it and I will order one of those before I go to bed tonight. This has scared me and I don’t want to try charging those with this computer again.
Wow, someone should invent something like that, and they could give it a name like "charging station" or something. /s
You know they also make them that you crank up to charge stuff, and also there are solar powered ones..
Sure, maybe it would have a power supply that you could arc weld with, but it would safely charge hundreds of USB devices. ;)

I beg to differ. Also, I've had a lot of God shots in my life. I would not have survived intact so far without Divine Intervention. I thank the Creator numerous times every day.
I've seen them at home depot..but I've never seen an arc welder that has a usb port for charging it..Now, that would be something..
Arc Welding brings to mind my gunsmith's mishaps at his house which involved the fire department..on more than one occasion.
Did you take “sten” in high school? I took Pitman as an elective.
My favorite is an old 12 V power supply that could actually start my motorcycle in place of the battery.
Sure, the lights dimmed when it pulled a load, and it weighs about what I do, but if I every really, really need 12 VDC, I've got it.

When I tried to sign up for stenography, the teacher was on to my scam and wouldn't let me.
I always figured that you go to where the potential customers are. ;)

The weather guy here just said 22 degrees tomorrow night. What are they saying for you guys?

“Did you take sten in high school?”
Yes, and in college.
They just look dead. The new growth will come out in the spring on 2cnd year canes. We usually trim ours in the fall.
I am transitioning into more storage in the canning jars vs zip bags. I bought a gizmo that lets me vacuum seal dry foods with the same lids and jars used for water bath canning, or I can use an oxygen absorber.
I planted the 3 blackberry plants on Dec. 20.
I grow some of my spices, and the others I ordered in bulk, and packed into mylar bags. Cheaper to make my own mix, though not as convenient.
“The new growth will come out in the spring on 2cnd year canes. “
These are second year canes.
