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!
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.
“What kind of “soul” music are we talking about?”
New Orleans Soul - Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, so many more singers, great soul love songs, so easy to dance with this music. My husband and I were dancers. Then, there was the time we were dancing to soul music and a man stopped by us on the dance floor and said, “Get a room.”
—get some BT and inject it in the stem near the ground. That’s how I grow squash—
Inject it? How is that done? It seems to be a powder.

“get some BT and inject it in the stem near the ground. That’s how I grow squash— Inject it? How is that done? It seems to be a powder.”
I don’t know what it is to start with - what is it - where do you buy it - how do you inject it - give specifics - don’t leave me hanging on a limb with not enough info.

LOL! Not Motown? :)
Great answer! Thanks, maybe I will think about some pickling cukes and yellow squash this year.
Do I even want to ask where/how to get a large bore needle on a syringe?— Its hard enough just to get cold meds now.

Feed store. Penicillin is very viscous. Needs a large needle. You should be able to get a syringe for a dollar.
I don't carefully measure it. I load up the syringe and hit all the plants that are vulnerable, one after the other.

Plenty of Syringes/needles on Amazon - just look for a large bore one, I will do that. I have plenty of small ones used for diabetic shots that we had for husband.
BT is a wonderful thing. Very safe for people.
The way I understand BT, is that it is a synthesis of protein. Kills some worms by cementing their bowels. Others get such bad cramps that they go somewhere else to eat. Somewhere far far away. Like Texas.

That was my understanding, anyway. ;)

LOL
Now you are talking way above my thinking.
Yes. Main goal is to keep your soil alive. :)
happy gardening!
