Now that June has arrived, we're mere weeks from the
onset of summer. As spring gives way to the warmest season of the year,
many of the colorful blossoms on the trees have given way to lush green
leaves and bright summer foliage. If you want a little of that spring
color back, there are lots of flowers you can plant this time of year to
create a beautiful garden.
Early summer is the perfect time to plant annual flowers like sunflowers, cosmos and zinnias, says ReneesGarden.com. These beautiful and colorful plants will bloom just as the summer gets into full swing, still leaving you with plenty of cheerful blossoms by early September. Pick flowers with light, fresh scents to perfume your garden all summer long, so you can enjoy some natural fragrance when you're relaxing with a drink or two on the porch during those balmy summer evenings.
Summer is also an excellent time to plant some veggies that you can harvest later for backyard barbecues. Tomatoes, squash, chard and beets are also excellent summer crops that you can pick all summer long for use in fresh salads, salsas and even drinks.
If you're looking for an excuse to enjoy the outdoors during this beautiful time of year, starting a garden is an excellent hobby!
