My Chicago Garden

Sorry for the delay in posts. It has taken several weeks to get back to normal..sorta.

I was able to harvest 12+ cucumbers but was only able to use a handful for my refrigerator pickles. I ended up using one to make an absolutely wonderful cold salad using the lemon infused olive oil from Pasolivo. I’ve used the Pasolivo oil several times since we returned from vacation and I have to say it is down right awesome. I’m a convert! Now to find the Pasolivo somewhere close!

Last weekend I planted cabbage seeds, and 2 rows of carrots in the cold frame ready bed. That leaves a 2 foot by 2 foot area for something when the tomatoe plants dies.

We are making plans for apple harvest season.  Probably the highlight of the fall for me. I nearly made myself sick last time we went from eating too many apples.
