Use This Companion Planting Chart to Help Your Garden Thrive

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 respite. 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!

No tomatoes at all?
Love those freebees and bargains.
LOL. You are a jokester—who knew???
Your favorite marinara sauce,
LOL. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I missed that when I looked at it.
I know! First it was the vintage pot and saucer, few days later the bunch of freebies! The really old pot/saucer from Goodwill are so cool. Might be able to fit one smaller growing red geranium in it.
cheers for spring coming...
What a great Wisconsin crowd Trump had.
The crowd was so well-behaved——poised, respectfully attentive, politely responsive to Trump.
And really.....a very good-looking crowd of men and women.
Very impressive
Lots of young people, which was fantastic! :)
They all looked so young.....and healthy.
Must be all those good Wisconsin dairy product.s
I was going to cut back on the number of tomato plants for next years garden, but I’ve decided to plant the same amount and make homemade Tomato Soup and can that.
Nothing better on a cold, Winter day...with a Grilled Cheese sandwich, of course!
P.S. I have NO idea why this hadn’t occurred to me sooner! I always make V-8 Juice and Salsa. Duh.

That looks awesome! Thank You! Frigid temps tonight and 3-6” of snow tomorrow night...which might ruin my plans for Saturday - Grrr!
This time of year, I could SWIM in tomato soup and ROLL in any melted cheese, LOL! :)
Capacity crowd inside (10K), 500 on the floor, 1,000 outside watching and many other venues throughout the city that had rented warehouse type places so people could gather and watch indoors.
Another really fine turnout - when the Dems can’t even get those stuck in airports and the housebound to watch their debate, LOL!
