The MONTHLY Gardening Thread is a 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 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/removed from our New & Improved Ping List.
NOTE: This is a once a MONTH Ping List, but we DO post to the thread all throughout the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to Gardeners are welcomed any time.
The wind today was BITING! I’m kinda glad to hear you thought it felt cold, not because I want you to be cold, but because I am such a WIMP, and often I don’t even want to go outside when it’s like this. It will take me a few more weeks of 30’s and below to start to adjust. Then I’ll complain when it gets into the teens. When it gets to the zeroes and below, I have a really hard time about even going outside. Usually that only lasts for a week or ten days. These are the times when my Florida upbringing does not help me. It’s not SUNNY enough here!
Now they call it “climate change”, Diana!
Climate change, where change is the constant in the equation!
