We could be in for a doozy tonight. 😳 We haven’t gotten a real snowstorm in Chicago for years, or even much snow at all. Crazy to think the winter opener could be a big one.

When you go to urgent care cause you woke up with bad pain in your right side and the doctor isn’t sure which side the gallbladder is on, would it be rude to ask for a different doctor? Yikes!

I tend to leave one or two carrots in the ground to seed out the next season. I moved a raised bed recently and this carrot trunk abomination was right in the way. 😳

It’s a week to November and we are finally getting some cold nights. But here in the Chicago area I’m still seeing monarch butterflies. In my non butterfly professional opinion, that seems very late for them to still be around here. 🌱 #zone6 #gardeningfeed

Decided to get out of our normal concrete jungle and traffic, and go to a forest preserve for our walk. My girl Jinx was overloaded with new smells and didn’t know where to sniff next. 😆
She also saw deer for the first time.

Using up a bunch of late harvests and fermenting into hot sauce. Tomatillos, garlic, onion, jalapeno, poblano, and chilaca chilis. Then will add cilantro and maybe a bell pepper at the end when I blend.

I’m definitely growing these chilaca/pasilla peppers again next year. I have never seen a pepper plant put out so many peppers before. They take forever to mature though. They’re plenty hot in the green stage but when they turn brown is the best flavor. 🌱 #zone6. #gardeningfeed #peppers

Have you ever grown indoor cucumbers? I didn’t even know this was a thing until today. I think I’ll try them over the winter. It’ll give me something to do until spring comes.

Quick Snack Cucumber Seeds
"Quick Snack" cucumbers were meant to grow in 6"-8" pots, indoors, on sunny windowsill, counter tops, or balconies. Because they are parthenocarpic, they do not need pollinators to produce fruit. Thes...

Maybe we’ll get a fall after all. I was afraid we’d go from the high 80s of the last weeks and go straight into snow. I’ve held off on planting my garlic but looks like maybe next week I can get them in the ground. 🌱 #gardeningfeed #zone6
