Andy's Chicago garden
New Progress in the Garden
ripe cherry tomato!
There are some good thing to report!
• In spite of a cool, wet summer our first cherry tomato has ripened.
• Pumpkins are getting large and on their way to 25#, or so the seed packet says.
• We are learning many ways to cook zucchini! Katie had a zucchini Asiago cheese-omelet this morning.
• Wildflower seeds I planted are blooming, although I don’t know what most of them are.
Anyone who knows wildflowers please feel free to help me identify them.
Any Brooklyn pumpkins yet, Jesse?
How about Pilsen jalapeños, Andy? Does the el cast too much shade on your garden?
This pumpkin is about 12 inches long so far.

From Andy…
I got the following note from Andy today. He also sent some wonderful photos of his urban garden.
hey dad!
i just transplanted my pumpkins into a larger container to be left outdoors. here are some photos! i grabbed an old ginger sack from work, filled it with potting soil, placed that in a crate for structure, and added the pumpkin plants. i’m only concerned that there are two plants. i grew them together in a milk jug until this point. do you think that i should take one out? one of them might be better off than two growing together.
