Directions

We're a Chicago couple growing fresh vegetables in our small backyard garden. If we can do it, you can too! You don't need a lot of space to grow something good!

Decided to harvest the rest of the tomatoes we had growing since it's pretty cold at night now. Figured we would have about 20 on our one small plant. Turns out we had 100!! We gave about 80 of the largest ones away.

This warm weather has the garden bursting with growth!

It's Garlic Planting Day!! In the video I said we had 46 cloves to plant. We ended up with 50! We wanted to get the cloves in the ground before the weather changed. It's supposedly going to get colder later this week.

So happy to still get able to harvest some goodies this late in October. We've been so spoiled by the good weather lately here in Chicago.

This is our 1st time growing sweet potatoes. It was so much fun watching them grow all season. They weren't very large, but they are beautiful. Now I have to cure them for about a sweet to let the sugars develop.

Took a moment to take a nature break as things in our garden wind down.

I have cut this sweet potato vine back 4 times!! Now it has become the carpet for my greenhouse. Guess I had better cook some more of the leaves!
