#fig harvest time. Although I have lost many fruits to black fig fly, there are a few that made it to maturity. Sweet and delicious. 🌴🌱

Eggplants are still making new precious blooms & the temperatures are so nice. Now I’d just like a little rain, please.

A lovely white flower with purple markings and a yellow center calling to the native bees that are still actively pollinating.

A super heavy large green variety, a tie-dye creamy orange and green ‘Desert Spirit’, & a golden orange ‘Climbing Butternut’.

Tomato season is not over thanks to ‘Mignonne Dwarf’. 10/10–will plant again next year.

Plump shiny pear-shaped tomatoes have reached their typical size and shine in dark purple/black with green bottoms that will turn yellow soon as they ripen.

We're about to get bombarded with several days of rain and a sudden major drop in temperature. So I'm gathering as many 🍅🍅 as I can to finish ripening inside. But we also have covered stuff, added the warm Xmas lights, and are using candles and 🔥✋🏻✋🏻 for extra warmth. #gardensky #gardening #GrowFood
A harvest basket filled with tomatoes of various types and sizes, mostly green but the cherry tomatoes are a dark purple and green combo. My caged tomatoes and planter boxes covered with frost cloth with Christmas lights to help keep them warm

Used up most of the ripe tomatoes from the garden last night making a tasty piccata-style sauce with garlic, capers, white wine, lemon juice & shrimp served over the best handmade pappardelle you can buy.

A shallow red cast iron sauté pan with beautiful yellow and red tomatoes and shrimp cooking in a herby buttery tangy sauce. Finished dish with the pasta cooked in the sauce before plating with tons of fresh grated Parmesan.

Went for extended walkies with #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey this morning and stopped to admire this impressive window melon.

A small grey and brown Cattle Dog stands in front of a tall iron fence covered in squash foliage that continues up the side of the apartment building behind it by grabbing onto the window screens and you can see a melon dangling beneath the windows.

Tomato ‘Mignonne Dwarf’ has been an absolute powerhouse producer all season and it seems determined to keep going as long as the weather stays nice.🤞

#gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray 🌱
A very enthusiastic pair of dwarf tomato plants has pushed out an overflow of new growth covered with flowers so hopefully we can keep harvesting tomatoes.

My garden space isn't THAT big. And yes, the binder is full. Y'all, I think I may have a problem. Anyone want some seeds?? 🤣😂 🌱
#gardensky #garden #bogwitch #GrowFood
Well over 100 seed packets spread on my bed while I sort them into a binder and a basket, based on packet size.

Gonna donate some to the library's new seed library! Got everything organized. It will last a week if I'm lucky. 🤣 #gardensky #garden #gardening #seedlibrary #GrowFood

Did a bunch of work in the #garden yesterday, so grateful to have this space. Tons of room for more boxes and things next spring. Here is a short walk through video as well: youtu.be/xnY5W0xQUdI?... #growfood

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my kale
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me 🎹🎼

Ohh… finally got ‘Climbing Honeynut’ to make some squashes for me by hiding it from the borers of doom under the tangle of monster squash foliage.

Not bad. Took 10 minutes to gather. I didn't know that 1 of my cucamelons survived the late freeze!! 😁 Also, I may have made a huge mistake planting so many Kusa squash. On the far side of my corn patch, I have DOZENS. And dozens already growing around the trellis. 😂😬 #gardensky #garden #GrowFood 🌱
A harvest basket filled with lots of midnight snack cherry tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, Roma tomatoes, one Hungarian yellow wax pepper, and 2 huge light green Palestinian Kusa squash. Several ears of corn are next to the basket. 2 cute little cucamelons that I actually picked a little early. Ick.

My basil was looking like a small tree again. I chopped half of it and filled the blender to the brim. Basil season is ending soon so it’s time to freeze as much pesto as possible! 😂💚 #gardening #growfood
