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.

If anyone ever has an overload of veggies, monarch community garden, in humboldt park has vegetable gave away days on Sundays. we stand outside the showgarden and hand out bags of produce to neighbors. feel free to drop off veggies or contact me about possible pick up! so far we have given away over 100lbs this year

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

Expensive ride home from work. Christy Weber garden center at Grand/Leavitt was having the most amazing clearance  sale of the millenium. $120 poorer, even though it was reportedly pretty picked over. Noce yellowish and red large ceramic pots and a huge plastic one for $20 each! They're bigger than the pics make them appear:

Here's one of my yields from a week or so ago:

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.
