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 wont be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isnt 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!
I’ve heard of hugokultur. Unfortunately, neither I nor my husband can dig trenches, and he probably would balk at renting a backhoe. (Wish I could afford to buy him one -— he’d be digging up the whole neighborhood)! And Lord knows we’ve got plenty of tree limbs and wood scraps we could bury!
Thanks for the reminder! I’ve done my seed shopping at Totally Tomatoes, but still need to do my Jung seed shopping!
Gala apples are SO good! My local grocer has been carrying them this time of year. I took Mom to an orchard outside of New Glarus a few weeks back and we split a peck of Zestar - which make really good pies. I put a few Granny Smith I had on hand in there, too - and got RAVE reviews from Beau, ‘Official Pie Tester.’
I still need a trip to a Pumpkin Patch in the coming weeks. So HAPPY Fall is here! Yay!
Pumpkin Spice Lattes all around! :)
I think you can also build them by laying the stuff right on the ground and then covering it with mulch, grass clippings, dirt, compost, whatever.
That’s true; if we just make frames for raised beds deep enough to cover the large pieces.
I love zinnias but don’t get enough direct sun for them to blossom. Tried one year but got a non-flowering palnt!
That’s a lot of zucchini bread! lol
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'll share my zinnias with you this morning!
Oh, thank you so very much for the fresh flowers. And a monarch butterfly! This brightens my day for sure.
