Approach of Fall Does Little to Deter Garden’s Growth


Fall may be right around the corner, but the summer crops in WTTW's organic garden are thriving. The Organic Gardener founder Jeanne Nolan visits the garden to check on the crops with “Chicago Tonight” host Phil Ponce.

Together they’ll harvest more of our sungold and gold berry tomatoes, and Nolan will explain the integral role the sun plays in developing a crop’s taste.
