he 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 any time-and don't have to be about gardening.
It sounds like a good one to try.
My 5 chickens are now 6, but they aren’t too happy about it! Dad was out for a walk and spotted a young hen wandering loose near a busy intersection. We’ve been trying to track down the owner, but no luck. So for now, she’s in a cobbled-together pen in the back garden. My 5 older hens are not liking this interloper, but as long as they’re separated, they can’t attack her.
I’m still shelling beans from this year’s harvest, and already researching what I want to grow next year. Seriously looking at quail as an additional cash crop. We’ll see.
My step grand dad raised quail as a cash crop at one time. My dad used to go quail hunting when I was a kid. Sounds like a decent idea to me.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the tomatoes grown in garden pots, and also mostly bright indirect light. Just harvested the largest green tomatoes, which have turned a beautiful red color. Fall tomatoes for Thanksgiving dinner tonight! Temperatures dropping fast so I’ll probably lose the plants tonight. Not covering them up. Happy Thanksgiving.
Enjoy!
Frost got mine two weeks ago. :(
Happy Thanksgiving.
