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!
Fall broccoli and brussel sprouts looking good so far...
Broccoli, cauliflower and winter squashes are vegies I buy at market...cuz they’re cheap and last a long time. If I had more room, I might grow them. Alas...
Lots of peppers here too and I am still picking tomatoes. So it’s greek salad today and flank steak with grilled shishito peppers and salad greens tomorrow.
It’s been a chill week, so the veggie garden has slowed. Tomatoes, cucs, eggplant still producing, just ripening slowly. Peppers didn’t do well this year. I think hubby’s watering system drowned them earlier. Harvested basil, thyme and mint and am drying them in the garage. I have the best smelling garage!
How are you storing those seeds?
Great pictures! Hope the weather cooperates for the Wedding!
I’ll never tire of that song. Ever! :)
I’ve seen a few Mantis this season - one was in my greenhouse, the other on my chair on the porch where I like to sit and read and watch the clouds.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen them - must’ve been a good year for them with all the rain. ;)
LOL! I have an Aloe Vera named, ‘Audrey.’ She pops out babies like nobody’s business. She hasn’t tried to eat me - yet! ;)
taking the dogs for a way.
ROFLMAO at me. Thanks for the check, deport? My laugh of the day thus far. Can I blame it on auto-fill or old age?
Are your papers in order, deport? : )
Yep we all need a laugh or two. Have a nice and enjoy.

dumb dumb on me....
s/b Have a nice day and enjoy.
I just keep them in my pantry, in their packages in a plastic shoe-box sized container.
Don’t freeze seed - if there’s the tiniest bit of moisture, they can crack.
This isn’t for long-term storage; just for next year. Germination should be just fine.
Ellendra can explain about long-term storage if you’re interested.
They are terrific!
Humidity has dropped from 94% @ 9 am to 68% at 12:30. The sun is peeping in and out ..... should be out more & more as the day goes on. What a great day, compared to what we could be having.
The praying mantis is still hanging out on the hummer feeder - I think its got an “ant buffet” going on.
I think the sunflower learned from our President.
