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!
lol- Yep-
Very pretty garden! :)
Cookies NEVER would betray you! :)
LOL Snickerdoodles galore for me :)
My cukes are just begining to set fruit. We had some rather chilly evenings in the 50’s and sometimes that effects fruit set.
I’m sure they’ll catch up!
I got a birdhouse from a friend and I painted it a shocking blue and hung it in the garden just for decor.
This morning, Little Jenny Wren was chattering at me while I was weeding. I was too close to HER house! I moved back and watched her bring twigs and dry grass to build her nest.
Those little Wrens are fearless and a force to be reckoned with! :)
Pretty!
What is the plant with the large leaves and the purple flowers? I can’t quite place it...
Beautiful garden! I use Flickr for photo storage and it’s HTML formatting.
Dinner plans? I’m always available...
The plants with the big leaves is Berginia but the flowers are on another different plant and I will tell you what it is when Lady Bender gets back from the store...
What a great garden. I like how you have seating in it. I have my pot set up so I can enjoying them while sitting on my porch having my tea, lunch, dinner, random people watching...
That’s a great spread for tomato production! I have some cherry-types ripening, but not quite there yet.
So, I’m assuming these were from tomatoes that weren’t washed down the hill? ;)
“Berginia” That’s the one I couldn’t remember!
How beautiful!
What are those plants called that have the purple flowers?
We have some with pink flowers around our yard, but never found out the name of them.
Thank you.
A friend of mine got a software program for his phone. It ID’s plants, gives details, how to grow, where, how to kill (if weed), etc. Amazing! I had him prove it’s ability by identifying lots of wild plants. Didn’t miss a one. Like facial identification software I guess. It identified one that I didn’t know, that has lots of positive points. Amazing how it just appeared (and I didn’t pull it for a bad weed)...birds must have brought it in.
