It’s hard to show scale here but this is the big It’s hard to show scale here but this is the biggest leaf on my monstera. Like bigger than my head big! Today is leaf dusting day. Haven’t done it in a few months but it’s definitely time. The shine is gone and everything looks dull and slightly fuzzy. #monstera #monsteraleaf #feedmeseymourfeedme #bigleaves #wintergreenhouse #houseplantsofinstagram #myhouseplants #wintergardening #indoorgarden #monsteralover #houseplantlover #bigplants #houseplants #houseplantsofig #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
One of my favorite clematis, Princess Diana never One of my favorite clematis, Princess Diana never disappoints. As a group 3 clematis, it needs little more than an early spring cut back and a bit of fertilizer and she’s good to go. #clematis #group3clematis #clematisofinstagram #vines #princessdianaclematis #perennialvines #lowmaintenanceplants #smallspacegardens #mylittlegardenhome #smallgardenideas #zone5bgardening #zone5 #chicagogardening #midwestgarden #perennials #mixedborders #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
Are you Team Turf? Team Clover? Or do you support Are you Team Turf? Team Clover? Or do you support the coexistence of both? My backyard is a healthy combo of both after I was able to convince my turf nut better half to join my team. It was hard for him at first, he muttered under his breath a lot and only does so now when I cut the grass. Apparently my lines aren’t straight enough?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ #turfwar #pollinatorlawn #pollinatorgardens #cloverlawn #clover #teamclover #lawncare #pollinatorgarden #whiteclover #zone5bgardening #lowmaintenancegardening #lowmaintenancelawn #healthylawns #chicagogardening #midwestgardens #grass #savethebeesplease #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #cloverflower #cloverhoney
If you don’t grow this little beauty, you should If you don’t grow this little beauty, you should! Bath’s Pink dianthus is one of my favorite late May blooming, front of the border perennials. It’s tough and perfect for a spot that gets lots of sun. After the first year, I’ve never provided supplemental watering so it’s quite the xeric plant too. Best of all, it has the most wonderful clove scent and when it’s finished blooming, simply sheer it back and you’re left with a gorgeous blue/green carpet. It’s hardy in zone 3-8 and prefers sharp drainage but I can attest to its tolerance for heavy soil. It’s been here for at least 10 years and counting. AND...the rabbits won’t touch them! #dianthus #bathspinkdianthus #xericplants #lowmaintenanceplants #pinks #waterwiseplants #pinkflowers #perennials #fragrantflowers #clovescentedpinks #zone5gardening #zone5bgardening #zone5 #mixedborder #groundcovers #inmygarden #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #beginnerplants #growwhatyoulove #scentedflowers

I’ve been spending a lot of time these days just I’ve been spending a lot of time these days just staring out the windows, imagining what I’d like to do this year in the garden, and discovered that my little haworthia has added a few more pups. It’s been in this tiny container I bought @chaletnursery about eight years ago during a lunch break for a shoot we were doing for Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Little did I know at the time that this pretty little pot was indeed handmade, as it’s stamped on the pot (duh), @wakefield_handmade. Such pretty pieces and the haworthia definitely approves. What’s growing on your windowsill these days? #windowsillgarden #windowsillgardening #houseplantlove #haworthiafasciata #zebraplants #houseplantsofinstagram #pottery #handmadepottery #ilovehandmadethings #indoorgardener #sunnywindowsill #wintergardening #houseplantsofinsta #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
