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.
Thanks! No, this is not a seasonal allergy thing or flu, but an actual cough type cold.
I felt pretty bad the first few days and it dragged on for about 10 days with me feeling better during the day but laying down and coughing a lot at night.
Nice.
If she never thawed the turkey .... does that mean the giblets were still a frozen lump inside? You can’t really get them out unless the bird is thawed!!
My bird is finally showing signs of thawing, thank goodness.
You know, I had something just like that a week or so ago. The cough mostly manifested at night. Hubby ran to get me some OTC cough medicine which I only needed for a few days. I really have attributed mine to leaf mold, because I’ve been working around the leaves a lot.
Maybe it was a virus instead? The itchy inside my ears makes me think it was allergy driven. I am prone to bronchitis, so I understand the concern. I’m glad to be on the other side of recovery though. I hope you continue to heal up, and quickly!
Oh, absolutely, never! They look perfectly awful. Gag!
She also under-bakes pies and cookies....🙄
This habit conditioned my husband, her son, to like under-baked things.
When we bake a pizza, he takes his portion off the pan, and I return the pan to the oven to get the crust done and make the cheese bake how a normal person likes it. LOL.😅

I bet if you dumped the thawed filling into a strainer and rinsed it with water, the actual food chunks are maybe 3 or 4 tablespoons. All sauce. Thats another thing don’t add too much gravy. You’ll have a nice moist slice to eat, not a wet mess in a bowl to eat with a spoon.
Yes, my whole family has disowned me for this grievous error in judgment. It is the TRUE reason I have been banished to live the rest of my days North of the Mason-Dixon Line! 😆
Hubby belly laughed as I read that post to him!
My son, who loves to cook, bake, and “mix” ingredients, has teased me with his homemade cinnamon rolls/buns that he intends to make for us when he and his GF come for Christmas this year. He showed me a photo of his work a week ago. He is often experimenting in the kitchen (like his Mama).
If he was proud enough to show me a photo, then you KNOW it must’ve been amazing! Being in the kitchen is one of his MANY talents. Sometimes I can’t believe he is the same person who had stomach issues growing up. (We had to put him on a strict probiotic regimen in HS to correct all the antibiotics he had been prescribed early in his life. He was a sick kid. Not his fault, but he has triumphed over that. And look at him now! A miracle that he is so much better!)
Thank you! I will start trying to make pot pies now. I have a great pie crust recipe, and also an amazing puff pastry recipe. This will be my new project.
However, just a heads up. It took me nearly 25 years to get my MIL’s meatloaf recipe just right. I pursued it until I got a positive review from her. Now she tells me I make it better than she or any of her daughters make it (4 daughters). I’ll take that!
I love stories with happy endings.
And BIG BUGS and Okra are the reason I will never live SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon Line! :)
Too funny! Growing up we used to say that roaches would be the only thing alive after a nuclear attack, and that they’d be the ones carrying bazookas.
