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!
PS - It was 18.5 pounds ground. I left a lot of meat on the legs and wings and cooking them with the necks. Will have enough meat and gravy to make 2 turkey pot pies.
You are a Wonder Woman! That’s a lot of food for such a great price!
I’m STILL trying to get motivated to process my pumpkins!
Prices on turkeys around here:
Jenny-O: 39-cents a pound, with $25 purchase. Limit One.
Butterball: 99-cents a pound, with $25 purchase. Limit One.
Running to town tomorrow for provisions; will check it out.
There was butterball here too .79 a pound . I opted for the .33. No prior purchase required. Discovered yesterday that the packets make 3 patties each. Times 29 packets is a lot of turkey sausage.
Yet another reason to grow your own.
(I was planning to expand my oregano patch anyway.)
On a more cheerful note, Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance has an incredible selection of grain seeds available. Including perennial varieties of wheat, oats, and rye.

They even have Kernza, the perennial wheat that’s been getting headlines lately. But unlike Kerza.org, RMSA doesn’t require you to register while promising everything short of your firstborn child in order to buy seeds!
(They have other perennial wheat varieties, too. Not just that one.)
