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!

Sooo cold.
Out early in it. No yard work for me today. Will be running back inside soon, laf. Brrrrr
Oh yeah, snowing this morning here in SE Wisconsin. Not even thinking about the garden yet.
It looks like spring is FINALLY here.
The potatoes are going in next week.
A GOOD day so far:
Walked to the mailbox & back - farthest I’ve walked since surgery
On my walk, a pair of bluebirds were active around my garden beds - a very blue (breeding plumage) male was sitting on top of my trellis - he has a great view for spotting bugs!
My brother (best brother ever!) is mowing for me as I type - this will give me an extra week before I have to do it again
My niece is bringing my 10-month old great-nephew to visit - he’s co cute - crawling “like a flash”, pulling himself up & side-stepping, & big enough to wear the Osh Kosh overalls that I gave her for a baby shower gift last year.
Sunny, cool early Spring day here - a real mood lifter!
Ugh! We DO need the moisture, and it will melt quickly now, but it's still disheartening! :( Going to be a SOGGY week, but I have CUTE boots to wear, so it's all good. :)
Sedum are up, Chives are up, potted Tulips are up in the greenhouse, Peonies are up trees are budded and so are the Lilacs. We'll get there!
Actually, this weather saves me a lot of work! No sense cleaning the storm door that is full of puppy paw prints and 'nose schmootz' and washing the kitchen floor is OUT of the question this week. The Hired Help (me) will be happy to hear that!
Thanks for the thread! (Need to stumble over and get some coffee!)
Wow. Hadn’t even thought of that ‘trickle down’ effect of the current cr@ptastic economy!
All of my tools have been inherited or gifted and I ‘won’ an assortment of Fiskars hand tools in a Silent Auction a few years ago.
Estate Sales would be a good way to go; lots of treasures to be had at those. :)
> Have a five gallon bucket of sand near your tool storage and include some used motor oil
After you clean the dirt off your tools, dip them in the oily sand to build a preventative coat to prevent tools rusting.
That way your tools remain rust free, and ready for future use.
Thanks, Pete!
Etiquette....Pollard....I keep forgetting to include you in a post that links to your page! (Thanks!)
Zucchini plants are blooming and starting to set. Tomato plants are blooming as well. My herbs are doing awesome and it’s already time to trim them back. Spinach is coming on strong and my pepper plants are also blooming now. Over all down here in South Texas it’s perfect weather for the early spring planting/growing season. Looking good!!
Almost forgot! Please add me to this ping list.
DONE! :)
