Zone 6 (Chicago, IL, USA)
Hey there! Thanks for watching!
📸 August 2025
The Summer garden is still going strong here in Chicago, but it’s also time to think ahead to fall. In this video, I’ll walk you through my Fall garden plans, give you a mini garden tour to show what’s growing in August, and dig up some of my first potatoes of the season!
Whether you’re planting a fall garden, tending containers, or just looking for gardening ideas for home, I hope this gives you inspiration for what’s possible in a small urban garden.

🌿 More about my garden
I grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers in both raised beds and containers in a small Chicago city lot. My goal is to show what’s possible in an urban home garden, even with a busy schedule.

Your hair and those potatoes – beautiful! Both justa growin!
Beautiful potato Harvest😊❤
You have wonderful backyard garden friend!
Mine is a small one,everything in pots. Now I want to make a few big pbeds to grow winter vegetables. But the area is all tiled and cemented.
Could you please suggest what to do.
I'm in Will County, and I love your garden. I don't see many Chicagoland gardeners on YouTube. It's nice. I can grow many of the crops that you do since we ate in the same grow zone. Thank you.
Those are some gorgeous potatoes!
Hey Betavia! Your garden looks really good. I like that you are already planning for next year. I want to be like that lol. Also the sunflowers are soooo pretty! I’m still watching but I wanted to say that so I didn’t forget lol. Back to watching! Edit: Very nice potato harvest!
You my friend have been gifted with a green thumb. Garden looks great! Wish mine looked as good but it seems its rallying.
😊 Great harvest! Love the Sunflowers 🌻
Very well done. Excellent. Very enjoyable to watch.
