I would like to propose a new rule. And get peoples in put on it. This is a garden group let’s try and keep the post to just gardening. I personally don’t have a problem with fishing hunting or eating of animals. But some people in this group do and are vegan or vegetarians. I saw nothing wrong with the fishing post and didn’t give it a second thought. I now see why it might have been a little disturbing to some of our fellow gardeners. So I propose that we keep all future posts on the subject of gardening and no pics of animals that might be considered being hurt or harmed. I would like to keep this group as inclusive and free of conflict as much as possible.

So much for recommending fish emulsion and blood meal as fertilizers!

Just pointing out he has a pond in his garden, lol. And what about people that raise chickens? Where do you draw the line? Isn't gardening, farming, recreation all related? My two cents.

I agree I have chickens I raise for eggs and meat. I post pics of them once in a while I wouldn’t post pics of me processing them. This the reason for the post to see where we want to line or if we even want a line at all.
I totally agree that posts in the Gardening group should be gardening-related and hope that others will note that the tone of your request is polite and respectful.
There are dozens of groups on his website, and a member who has a particular interest but cannot find an appropriate group should start and announce a group based on that interest.
Regardless of one's attitude towards the food chain, this group is about only one aspect of it - gardening. I agree that posts should be limited to those that are related to gardening.
I am an avid Chicago Cubs fan, but I believe that if I began to post daily "Cubs updates" in the "trump Pinata" group it would be received like a "lead piñata."

This omnivore is becoming vegan for health and climate. Incidentally, animals aren't killed to satisfy my palate.

I'm always torn between our gardening group & the food glorious food group when posting about garden produce being prepared for later use in cooking. (See my latest post). Is this still OK based on you thought?

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
