    Hyacinth Bean Vine: A Budget Friendly Problem Solver
    What’s the first thing you see when you look at this picture? Yeah, me too. When the air conditioner pooped out a few years ago, we had this beast installed. The HVAC guy talked about…

We’ve not seen eye-to-eye on lawn care since the b We’ve not seen eye-to-eye on lawn care since the beginning of homeownership…until now. He’s seen the light (finally)! After 20 years of four-step programs that advise waiting several days before walking on the lawn after application, we switched to @true_organic_ lawn food. Safe to walk on after application, it contains no harsh chemicals and helps build soil with sustainably sourced key ingredients nitrogen and iron. Which means kids and fur babies are good to go, the lawn thrives chemical free and we’re building healthy, living soil 👶🐶 Soooo….you in? #ad #trueorganic #organiclawncare #hereshegrows #truecrew

Back in November I planted a bunch of Double Sorbe Back in November I planted a bunch of Double Sorbet Blend tulips from @provenwinners in a black container. I’m no @clausdalby but for a first go with planting tulips in containers, I’m pretty happy and will most definitely be doing this again in the fall. In case you’re curious, I potted them up and left them in my unheated garage for the winter where they got a good bit of cold. By mid March, green tips were poking through the soil and I moved them to my front porch where they acclimated for a few days before moving them to my sunny south-facing patio. #tulips #springflowers #containergardening #bulbs #hereshegrows
I’ve held out hope for many years that these climb I’ve held out hope for many years that these climbing roses would bathe my arbor with gorgeous cabbage-sized blossoms. All I got were thrip-ravaged buds, rose canker and disappointment. Life’s too short to suffer for a pipe dream! #hereshegrows #gardenlife #keepingitreal #chicagogarden
I couldn’t wait to assemble my @vego_garden Ultima I couldn’t wait to assemble my @vego_garden Ultimate Grow Light System! It came with everything I needed to put it together. Despite the suggestion that it was a two-person job, I did it myself in less than two hours. I’m stoked about the options on the grow lights. I can dial in the light based on what I’m growing - seeds, greens, fruit, etc. Light intensity and duration are just a touch away. And I can raise and lower the lights as needed. Now for the seeds! #vegogarden #growlights
They’re baaaack! As soon as it warms up, the bees They’re baaaack! As soon as it warms up, the bees will be swarming my Little Twist cherry tree. Let’s hope the flowers last until then. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 #floweringtrees #springtrees #cherrytrees #smallspacegardening #hereshegrows

This is the exploratory phase of my shed dream and This is the exploratory phase of my shed dream and for that I need a good visual. I also need to sit in it, let the idea marinate before jumping. It involves easements and one VERY important, scratch that, the MOST important consideration. Can you guess the determining factor on whether or not this little 6’x8’ make-believe shed can come to life? #sheddreams #gardenshed #chicagogarden #hereshegrows
