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!

A local cat, whom we think may have been abandoned by a previous tenant, has adopted us. To date she has gifted me with two mice, a rat, a bird and a lizard. I keep asking her to bring back a deer, but she doesn’t seem interested in deer.

Cat you want:
Cat you have!
OMG, that’s hilarious!
That’s good stuff.
Mrs. Augie blasted a nice fat doe yesterday afternoon.
Between us, our next door neighbor, his buddies, and his grandson, Mrs. Augie’s doe makes 6 of the giant rats removed from the local herd since Saturday.
I’m pretty sure the other neighbor to my north has taken a couple or three too, but I haven’t had a chance to talk with him since the season opened.
LOL!
My two, Boyd & Eva, (named from the series ‘Justified’) are both pretty good mousers and leave proof on the porch more mornings than not.
Now that Winter has reared her ugly head, they hunt less...unless you count them ‘hunting’ for a warm lap (human or canine) or the spot closest to the fireplace! :)
love it puzzle time!
I have had success with drying herbs.
Night temperatures have been very cold, between 40 degrees and 33 degrees. Up in the mountains it has been below freezing. Need to plant my daffy bulbs. I’ve pulled up most of the summer plants. However, there is one coleus still going strong and I will keep it until the plant dies back. Other than that, not much happening. Just waiting for spring to return so I can start planting again. lol Happy Thanksgiving to all in the group!
