Joining in with the garlic harvesting crowd. Planted 18, got 16 back. Pretty happy with that for a second season try. Drying out a bit and then will clean up more. #gardening #GrowYourOwn #NorthernIllinois #Zone5b

I sowed my green/wax beans on the 10th, and the black beans on the 11th. To my surprise, they're already up and growing!

So my amaranth will have black beans growing near them! Next week, I sow the squash seeds to finish the 3 Sisters and transplant the bell peppers; with that the garden will be set. Finally.

Backyard/Garden update:

The tomatoes might make it! Finally showing some green, growth after a rocky 3 weeks of looking gray/green in the containers.

The peppers are hanging on, but I had to give them some yellow-fertilizer again; more yellow leaves. Considering some diluted weed tea as well, just to keep the nutrients coming.

Herb garden is rolling along. Cilantro and dill are very happy! The chives, not so much. No germination yet 😔

Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) in the foreground and wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) in the back. #NativePlants #gardening #Zone5b
Unlike last year, the ground is still frozen right now. No sign of the crocuses yet and only a few garlics. I'll go out and poke around this weekend, but a little longer rest for me it seems. #gardening #NorthernIllinois #Zone5b
Working on closing up the vegetable portion of the #garden this weekend but will leave the peas up. Hopefully these tomatoes will keep ripening inside. #gardening #GrowYourOwn #Zone5b #NorthernIllinois
I have trouble thinning in the spring and clearing in the fall. Even though nothing will come of it, the zucchini and yellow squashes still want to try. It's November. #gardening #ClimateChange #Zone5b #NorthernIllinois
Most of the #garden is doing extremely well this year, with the notable exception of three beds that are too close to the forest. These will be moved next Fall.
