I love looking at other people’s gardens. On the assumption that some of you feel the same way, here’s what’s growing behind our little house in the suburbs.

I wish I knew what sort of chicory this is. It came in a long ago mix and has been re-seeding itself for years:


More chicory/radicchio:

The onions need thinning now the tomatoes have died back and stopped shading them:


The last of the tomatoes:


The first of the garlic:


A few final Chardonnay bell peppers:


And poblanos. . .


Some tangy greens for fall salads:


Turnip greens–the Bt really seems to keep down the caterpillars:


Pak choi and a sprig of cilantro:


Red Russian Kale:


And the most chilled-out cat—ever:

Aww, TL, your cat is so cute. I want to pick her (aren’t tabbies that colour mostly female?) up and cuddle her :-D

She would totally be up for that. Anytime. All the time, if she had her way.

I just love your blog, even if I don’t always comment I love to come here and learn something new.

The cat is just the right surprise to the mix!

Thank you, Linda. We appreciate you very much. Delicious-looking pumpkin muffin recipe, by the way. Yum.

Jenni–I’m sure it isn’t too late for greens, especially since you are south of here (I peeked at your lovely blogs, such beautiful photos and art).
