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!
I hope Santa’s Workshop has central heating.
I suspect that the garden the other gnome is hanging out in is right now covered in SNOW! LOL.
Thanks for the ping. Wait, what day is it?:) Keeps us on our toes!
I kind of had a “cheapskate” section of the garden this year. I was so sure the seedling shortage would affect my neighbors that I took a bunch of old tomato and pepper seeds and started them. Then no one needed them, so they all went in my garden. None of the peppers took, but the tomatoes were added to the pile for canning.
(To be fair, it’s possible the peppers got weeded out. I didn’t realize until later that they look exactly like one of the wild nightshades on my property.)
Based on what I have on hand from last season and what I’ve ALREADY ORDERED for 2021, it’s going to be a mixed bag this coming Spring. ;)
Just got my Baker’s Creek catalog, today! *HAPPY SQUEAL*
I’m taking THAT ONE to bed with me, LOL!
I somehow wound up with 2 of their Whole Seed catalogs. One is still in the wrapper. The other one I’m savoring slowly :)
I did notice that a lot of things listed in the catalog are out of stock on their website. It might be that they just haven’t finished adding this year’s inventory, but I’m keeping an eye on that.
Yeah, Baker Creek has the kind of catalogs I keep just to lift my spirits on a gloomy day.
Back when I was working a desk job, I kept a copy in my desk to remind myself what I was working for.
