The Splinter That Inspired A Pergola

April 11, 2019 By Heather Blackmore Leave a Comment

Hi there!

I'm Heather and I love to grow stuff. LOTS of stuff. Most importantly, a healthy family. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a passion for playing in the dirt. Read More…

My string of turtles is flowering again and living

My string of turtles is flowering again and living its best life on the coffee table. It’s amazing how fast these plants grow when they’re almost completely ignored during the outdoor gardening season. 🥴 The key to trailing succulents is to make sure they’re getting plenty of top light so that the surface fills in quickly. #stringofturtles #succulentsofinstagram #houseplantclub #trailingplants #plantparenting #hereshegrows #peperomiaprostrata

I’m all for tools that make digging easier, especially in my heavy clay soil. Hand digging hundreds of spring blooming bulbs irritates the arthritis in my hands so I REALLY appreciate my Twist ‘n Plant auger from @power_planter and @provenwinners It does the hard work for me so that all I have to do is plop the bulbs in the holes. The only way this could be any easier is if I had one of the longer augers, then I wouldn’t have to squat at all. Cheers to tools that make gardening possible despite physical limitations. 🙌🏻 I’m thinking stocking stuffer for your favorite gardener. 😉 #plantingauger #powerplanter #bulbplanting #gardeningtools #giftideas #hereshegrows

The snow is here, it’s 25 degrees and there’s still so much beauty in my little front yard garden. The crabapples did it for me ❤️today and the birds are pretty tickled too! When you’re planning your garden, think about what a plant has to offer after the growing season comes to an end. Us cold climate gardeners spend a lot of time looking out into the garden. ❄️❄️❄️ #crabapple #frontyardgardening #smallspacegarden #wintergardens #birdgarden #hereshegrows #coldclimategardening

HAPPY THANKSGIVING GARDEN TRIBE! In the spirit of the season 🦃, I’ll be hosting a GRATEFUL GARDENER GIVEAWAY for something that brings me soooooo much JOY and I think you’re gonna love it.

💦 Before I store my hoses for the winter, I make sure to give all my recently planted (in the last three years) conifers a good drink.

💦 Thirsty conifers with unestablished root systems heading into winter are less likely to survive than those that receive a deep soak before the ground freezes.

💦 During the winter, conifers transpire or lose water through their needles. If they haven’t been watered thoroughly, desiccation can lead to death of the evergreen.

💦 This year I planted…
3️⃣ North Pole arborvitae
2️⃣ Sting arborvitae
1️⃣ Pinpoint Blue Chamaecyparis
from @pwcolorchoice and all are ideal for small space gardens.

Now that they’re watered and tucked in for winter, I’m confident they’ll ride it out until spring.

🎄And if you’re looking for a great Christmas gift, I love my One Touch Rain Wand from @drammgardening especially for anyone with arthritis issues in their hands. No lever to squeeze, just a simple thumb 👍🏻 flick to adjust the spray.

The week of Thanksgiving and Hydrangea quercifolia

The week of Thanksgiving and Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Ruby Slippers’ is still hanging onto some gorgeous color! At 3’-4’ tall and wide, she tucks perfectly into small spaces. Loaded with multi-season interest, low maintenance and hardy to zone 5, I think this is one shrub you’ll never regret adding to your garden. #oakleafhydrangea #hydrangeaquercifolia #rubyslippershydrangea #rubyslippers #gardendesignideas #hereshegrows #floweringshrubs
