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!
Love the little Gingerbread sprinkles! So cute!
I am making Beau a ‘Snackle Box’ for his birthday, today. You take a tackle box (new, CLEAN, obviously!) and fill it with all kinds of snacks...and a few (WRAPPED!) new fishing lures.
We’ll see how this is received...
Nice idea......snackle box.
Ithaca ‘nibbles’ on Weber a little bit, but no fighting or blood drawn. Yet. He has also figured out where and when I give Weber sweet oats and shows up DEMANDING his fair share for doing NOTHING to deserve them.
I’m pretty sure Ithaca is a Democrat, LOL!
One of my favorite poems, ever!
God Speed The Plow
(The Farmers Arms or Success to the Farmer)
~British, Author Unknown
Let the wealthy and great live in splendor and state.
I envy them not, I declare it,
For I grow my own rams, my own ewes, my own lambs,
And I shear my own fleece and I wear it.
By plowing and sowing and reaping and mowing
All nature provides me with plenty-
With a cellar well stored and a plentiful board,
And my garden affords every dainty.
For here I am king. I can dance, drink and sing.
Let no one approach as a stranger.
I will hunt when it’s quiet. Come on, let us try it!
Dull thinking drives anyone crazy.
I have lawns and bowers. I have fruits and flowers,
And the lark is my morning alarmer.
So you jolly boys now, here’s godspeed the plow.
Long life and success to the farmer!
He gives you all that manure!
Happy Birthday Beau!
Happy Thanksgiving!
:-)
Lady Bender did the “Traditional Thanksgiving” dinner today including a Pumpkin pie and a Sour-cream Apple. Our guests were just our son and his wife and our daughter and her husband and the manager of the local Boys & Girl club. Our son serves on the board of directors and she is from out of the area.
Her turkey and stuffing were perfection and I can’t wait for “Left Overs” tomorrow. I will borrow some photos from our daughter...
That’s a lovely painting, Diana. It combines a modern look with great detail.
Beautiful!
