Dear August
For gardeners, August is the month when the vegetable plants you tended to and cared for are now ripened for picking. A time when summer flowers from seed to bud have finally bloomed to their maturity. And by the end of August, the temperature will start to drop, reminding us that autumn will be here before we know it.
August is also a special month since it marks the one-year anniversary for which I officially launched my blog. I was searching for a creative outlet to write and share my ideas and experiences. A space to provide tips on gardening and review the latest natural beauty product in the market. To share pictures of my cats and write about my latest bargain find.
To my followers, thank you for taking the time to read my blog. And if you’re new to my website, Welcome!
I want to end this post by sharing some wisdom for the remaining weeks of summer. Enjoy!!!
Useful Tips to Live By
1) If you feel that your garden is lacking in the floral department, plant sunflower seeds. Sunflowers are fast bloomers and can transform your garden to look like a sunflower field from Tuscany, Italy.
2) Fill sachets with lavender and rosemary from your garden. You can place the sachets inside your pillowcase to help calm you before bed or place the sachet inside your dresser drawer to freshen your clothes and keep moths away.
3) Don’t pull out the clover in your garden. It’s a sign that your garden has nitrogen, plus clover brings good luck.
4) Cut and save the dead flower heads from your garden in a paper bag and store them in a cool place. You can use the seeds for next year.
5) Be on the lookout for end-of-summer sales on gardening tools and decor.
6) Take long day trips with loved ones now before you’ll be too busy to plan a trip later on.
7) Do remember to touch your bare feet on the grass or rub your feet in the sand. This will allow you to stay grounded and connected with nature.
My final tip is that it’s never too late to start a garden. Research what plants will do well during the autumn season.
Happy Gardening!!!
