Fall feelings weighing as heavy as these lovely winter squashes we brought in today.

#gardening #bloomscrolling #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray 🌱

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.

#gardening #bloomscrolling #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray #GothGardening 🌱

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.

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.

there really is something special about eating apples that grew in your backyard.

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

#gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood 🌱

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.

Still harvesting peppers & eggplants despite the cooler weather this week. 👩🏼‍🌾👩🏼‍🍳

#gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray 🌱

Long Japanese eggplants in glossy black, green/purple striped, and soft purple, plus a chunk eggplant in magenta/white stripe and a rainbow of sweet peppers.

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 🎹🎼

#gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray 🌱

Beautiful blue-green baby kale with giant raindrops sitting on top of their waxy surface.

My magic tie-dye Winter Squash are starting to color up. How beautiful!

#gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray 🌱

A soft cream and pale orange and green winter squash still filling out as the tendrils is very green.

@citymousegarden.bsky.social Sep 15, 2026, 3:33 PM

I love Yardlong beans, particularly these ornamental burgundy ones. Time to make some stir-fry!

#gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray 🌱

Extra long burgundy beans hang down from the archway.

@citymousegarden.bsky.social Sep 15, 2026, 3:21 PM

Another tasty harvest to fuel yesterday’s big planting effort before rain comes in today.

#gardening #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray #UrbsInHorto #Chicago 🌱

A handful of huge beautiful sun-warmed blackberries.

@megglattly.bsky.social Sep 13, 2026, 9:10 PM

Eggplant Parmesan in development Yummy

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.

#gardening #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray #UrbsInHorto #Chicago 🌱

A petite butternut squash covered in green snakeskin mottling just starting to yellow before it turns orange.

The seed seller did not overstate the size of these lovely tomatillos. 🤩

#gardening #KitchenGarden #GrowFood #NoSpray #UrbsInHorto #Chicago 🌱

A green tomatillo held between fingers and thumb showing its size somewhere between racquetball and tennis ball rather than the usual golf ball.

We may lose a crop, but we don't lose the courage to plant again. 🙏🌱

Another big beautiful bowl of #homegrown blackberries. The garden angel on one shoulder says share them with my family. The evil twins on the other side say eat them until your fingers are purple or start a bidding war… 🤪
