Weekly Garden Thread - August 27-Sept. 2, 2022 [Fermenting & Brewing at Home Edition]

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!

I've never seen an Ant Lion, either! I'm gonna say, Um, NO!

We’re asking a lot, even from the French, when the champagne has been under the sea for 170 years...

Our Treeing Walker Coon Hounds are purebred, homegrown, hand-raised, hardworking and industrious! Lefty said she'd do the mowing for me, today. Good Girl! Woof! ❤

When you have doodlebugs in your greenhouse you won’t have many ants plaguing your veggies.

I’d hope so! They look ferocious!

https://grainplacefoods.com/craft-brewers-rejoice/ Our flaked/rolled products are created using a micronizing, infrared process. Our grains are tempered prior to being processed (unlike the industry standard of just using steam). This tempering and infrared toasting process gives Grain Place Foods’ rolled products a richer flavor as well as lend themselves as the perfect match with craft brewers. We can’t give all our secrets away here, but using our flaked grains in your delectable brews is easier than using whole grains and provides certain benefits, too. All are sold in 25# bags with some in 1# bags as well. We roll the following grains: Ethiopian Barley , Hulled Barley, Triticale, Spelt, Short Grain Brown Rice, Oats, Hard Red Winter Wheat, Hard White Winter Wheat, Kamut Khorasan Wheat, Corn, Rye
