TOMORROW, at Northerly Island (cut and pasted from FB):

Northerly Island Plant Rescue
Saturday, October 27, 10 am - 2 pm

In advance of a major wetland reconstruction at Northerly Island, the Chicago Park District is inviting the public to come out and take home native plants and prairie seeds for our yards and parkways.

All the plants are free!

Park District staff will dig up the plants, and you can take them home in bags. This is a chance to get some of the lovely plants that once grew everywhere in our landscape, such as Little Bluestem, Gray Headed Coneflower, New England Aster, and Stiff Goldenrod.

This event is co-sponsored by Openlands, Audubon Chicago Region, and The Field Museum.

I have 2 tickets for FACT's Fund-a-Farmer fundraiser tomorrow, October 24th 7-9pm. It is at Uncommon Ground at Devon.

Hear from humane farmers and bid on humanely raised foods.

Has anyone seen low-growing ground cover plants (such as creeping thyme or mazus) in recent garden center visits? I could use some, and they tend to be tough to find at this point in the season.

Nice yield on those peppers and eggplants. Assuming you don't eat them all, how do you preserve them?

From my garden, thanks for the Indian American Center for turning my front yard into a community garden (and Dara from Alderman Ameya Pawar's office to connecting me with them).

What's everyone planting right now? And when should fall crops (round 2 of leafy greens, peas, etc) be planted? My stuff is doing okay but the first round of red tomatoes all had blossom end rot. I never made kale chips until this year and kale is now my new #1 favorite plant. Such impressively hardy stuff.

I had the wildest dream last Saturday night.  I dreamt it rained.
