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. 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!
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.
Would be good to get out today if you can. It’s supposed to be wet and turn cold again this weekend.
UGH. Inevitable return to winter, but just 1 more really cold month, till spring fever starts as the seasonal seed starting ramps up.
I always started seeds in the house in Feb. here in Texas. My “Jiffy Tomato Greenhouse” is here; it has 16 slots in it. The peat pellets are bigger/longer in the tomato one so longer, stronger roots can grow before putting them outside.
I got my winter wheat, rye, and garlic in so late, I may not be able to transplant until sometime in June. So I most likely will not be starting stuff too early here, unless I see some quick growth this spring.
