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 a 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!
Looks spectacular! Love the porch.
I still say a paw paw is the most amazing thing I have ever eaten.
We found this youtube 4 or 5 years ago now and we followed it completely, We are on our 5th one. You do need a vacuum sealer and best to buy a meat slicer, best sliced super thin The nice thing about the curing bags is in cures in your fridge no need to have a cold basement. We also used smoked sweet paprika instead of regular.

Kind of a cross between a mango and a banana but creamy too.
No I had not heard that song before (grew up in south Chicago), but people have told me about it. They are very nutritious, America’s only native tropical fruit.

THANK YOU!
The stuff is so expensive in the stores. Being able to make it at home would be good.
We have a local butcher. We could get a nice 8-9 lb pork shoulder for 1.59 a pound, higher now paid 2.29 lb this last time. Still a bargain.
Thank God for what has been enabled, though "great" would have required a rest for the soil (next year) and soil amendments, much more sun and organization (squash conquest!).
Now I will have to look up how to make cappicola
post 43 just follow the youtube easy
Hello All, from above Atlanta, Zone 7B. Installed a large landscape project today, my biggest yet. I’m wiped out. The humidity is low here, the temps in the 80s, so its tolerant. This past summer was brutal for me and my crew but Fall weather down here is very pleasant.
Wow! You have an amazing garden.
Morning glory invasion! How do you get rid of it? Determination and patience. Continuously.
Lol!
That’s sounds like I need to try a paw-paw sometime soon!
Well now is the time, depending on the variety they are ripening from September to mid October.
Thanks, I’ll start looking. Are they best raw or used in cooking?
Just raw I think.
Ok, thanks. I’m really looking forward to finding these and trying them!
