Zinnias are well-known annuals that can take the heat. They are prolific, blooming all summer, and will flourish.
Meal Plans:
To stay cool I am cooking early, using my crockpot for meals or grilling outside

ReplyDeleteZinnias are really amazing! My lilies were not blooming well this year, so I planted a few different seeds along them and the zinnias are the only one that came up, but they keep coming and now they are flourishing! I'm so excited to see them! I hope you have an amazing week!
ReplyDeleteAlso! your cover photo of the craft room, oh my goodness! Is this really your space? I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI am popping by from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom! I feel you on the heat! I am over in Mississippi and my air is running so hard. I have been trying to cook meals that don’t heat our home. I enjoyed my visit!
ReplyDeleteI'm originally from East Texas so I really feel for you! The month of August is probably one of the very hardest along the gulf coast in my opinion!! Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie - YUMMY!! Have a great week!
