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.
If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located.
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!
Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you'd like to be added to our New & Improved Ping List.
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 to Gardeners are welcomed any time!
TOPICS: Food; Gardening; Hobbies; Outdoors

Yep. They usually like Potatoes best, but will munch on other things in the Solanum Family. Jerks!
Now I’m going to run out to see if there are any on my potatoes, LOL!
With all of the WET we’ve had, I’ve really been expecting Tomato Hornworm but haven’t seen any. Yet!

Cucumbers, Pickles and Tomatoes, Oh my! I am harvesting daily in bunches. Already 13 quarts of pickles (half dill and other half B&B). Next batch is Honey Pilsner. One of my sons is a chef and he’s going to make tomato sauce.
Another crop doing well is string beans. Broccoli is a lost cause - worms and flea beetles.

Is it powdery mildew? There are lots of solutions online including fungicides, baking soda and water, mouthwash(?), and hydrogen peroxide.
