Garden Boots That Won’t Bust Your Budget

August 18, 2023 By Heather Blackmore 4 Comments

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…

I picked a bouquet of one of my favorite ball dahlias, Cornel Brons, for my friend’s birthday. We’re all getting together for drinks this evening and I can’t wait to give her flowers from my garden! Beautiful flowers for a beautiful friend. 🧡 #dahlias #cornelbrons #dahliabouquet #flowersforfriends #balldahlia #fallflowers #birthdaybouquet #cutflowersfrommygarden #homegrown #dahliaseason #frommygarden #flowergifts #hereshegrows

An hour ago, my peanut wreath was full. This glutton has been taking a peanut at a time, flying into my river birch to eat it and returning for another. I think I’ll be filling it again tomorrow. This is gonna be expensive! 💸💸💸 #bluejay #birdfeedersofinstagram #birdloversclub #birdwatching #backyardbirding #birdsofinstagram #ilovebirds #birdsfeeding #birdfeeders #hereshegrows #hungrybird

I love snapping “befores”. They’re a great way to look back on how far a space has come.

This was my first season growing in my 17” 6-in-1 @vego_garden raised bed with trellis system. At just 24” wide, it tucked in perfectly against the fence and grew delicious climbing zucchini and honeynut squash this summer.

The narrow footprint made it possible to grow sprawling veg that would have eaten up valuable space had I not taken advantage of vertical space.

Have you thought of ways to make better use of your space?

There’s nothing like a good before and after 📸 to show you how far you’ve come! Adding the @vego_garden raised beds was the perfect way to use every square foot 📏 of space.

I have two 6-in-1 raised beds along the fence, one I kept at 6’ long, the other at 5’ to fit the space. On the end I added the Kids First Garden Bed. At 3.5’ long and 2’ deep, it was the perfect size for the tight corner.

☀️ I overestimated the amount of sun this bed received and had to move the raspberry bush to a sunnier location.

Every growing season is full of ups and downs but it’s about enjoying the process. It wasn’t much fun when the wind pummeled my corn 🌽 but I was able to save it ⛑️ and still get a decent harvest.

Cheers to experimenting and always learning in the garden!

My little honeynut squash is the last veg to be harvested in this bed and I enjoy checking on these cute little guys. Once all signs of green are gone and the flesh is a delicious caramel orange color, it’ll be picking time. I can’t wait to roast these cuties with a bit of butter 🧈.

The @vego_garden trellis has been great for taking advantage of vertical space, especially in a small space garden where every inch matters.

Use code HEATHERHERESHEGROWS5% for an additional savings on the 17” tall 9-in-1 raised bed. Includes free shipping too! Code good through October 2.

Combine it with the current Fall Harvest Sale for double the savings!

Happy Gardening!

A color echo is simply nothing more than the color

A color echo is simply nothing more than the color of a flower or leaf repeated in another nearby plant. In this case the red throat of my purple pillar hibiscus from @pwcolorchoice is echoed in the Velveteen coleus from @provenwinners Color echoes are an easy way to create repetition and knit it all together. Try it! #colorecho #repetition #gardendesign #gardentip #smallspacegarden #zone5bgardening #chicagogarden #colorcombos #plantcombo #perennialgarden #roseofsharon #coleus #hereshegrows
