Weekly Garden Thread - February 8-14, 2020
February 8, 2020 | Diana in Wisconsin/Greeneyes

Posted on 02/08/2020 7:01:00 AM PST by Diana in Wisconsin

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!

Thanks. That inspired me to get my butt outside and clean up my veggie zones!

Not done yet but going to chip away at it.

Awwwww isn’t that cute. For him. Here there is a .22 parked near the garden lookout. Have rid ourselves of many of these garden pigs who feast in broad daylight. A pox on them.

Cute - reminds me of the cards we would give out when I was a kid growing up. I can remember giving little cards to everyone in my class in elementary school - grades 1 & 2. The “good old days” - I appreciate them more, the older I get.
