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…

Temperatures rose and the Tommy crocuses in the gr Temperatures rose and the Tommy crocuses in the grass had their last hurrah. The bulbs are so easy to slip into the lawn in the fall and when they wake in the spring, it’s like the opening act announcing so much more to come. I can’t believe the rabbits didn’t mow them down.

It’s the only thing that works. @colorblends #crocusesinbloom #springbulbsablooming #springflowershow #crocus #tommycrocus #inmygardennow #smallspacegardening #springgarden #littleflowers #flowerbulbs #growwhatyoulove #purpleflowerseverywhere #inthelawn #lawnalternative #springephemerals #zone5gardening #easyplantstogrow #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
Love this time of year! The only thing I dislike a Love this time of year! The only thing I dislike about spring bulbs is letting the leaves remain long after the flower fades. It just looks weedy until the foliage browns and I can chop it down. #springbulbs #daffodilseason #daffodilsofinstagram #fromtyardgarden #siberiansquill #scillasiberica #springgarden #mygardentoday #smallspacegardens #chicagogardening #zone5gardening #lowmaintenancegardening #pollinatorgardens #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

Maybe I’ll even get a few macro snaps of it if I’m lucky.
