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 any time-and don't have to be about gardening.
We want to add an addition to our house too. A sun room with windows on 3 sides longest side facing almost south. Put a skylight at the end that has the most sun light. Wood stove, and some electric outlets.
We currently grow a few plants in the winter in front of a patio door, but would like to grow more.
I miss raising chicks. I had a brooder in the walk-up attic at my old house. It was just a perfect spot - sunny and warm and out of the way. I’d do 50 at a time; some to sell and some for egg production.
The Labs and the Basset followed me up every morning and evening to check on them, add food, change water and bedding, etc. The chicks imprinted on the dogs and the dogs doted on the chicks as they grew and I never had a grown hen lost to any of the dogs. :)
That’s right! lol
