In a Vase on Monday – Snippet of Summer

“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.” — Jenny Han

It has been hot and dry here. Quick little blooms popping up and then going over fast. So I am grabbing what I can.

You would not expect to see Johnny Jump Up or Viola tricolor blooming now in July. They should be blooming every mid spring with the other violas. But mine don’t seem to stick around so I seeded them in a container in April. Now they are finally blooming profusely.

And then there are the nasturtiums I have growing in several containers. Love these.

So many colors. Various shades of oranges, reds and cream. I know these will find their way into another vase or two as they are long lasting.

I was reminded with last week’s post that viola and nasturtium look good in a salad. And I just love how nice they look together here too. The summery colors in a sweet little vase giving a nod to spring and a welcome to summer.

As summer heats up, you can find loads of ideas for gardening, treats and fun activities in our book, A Journey of Seasonal Wisdom. If you were kind enough to purchase the book, don’t forget to leave us a review on Amazon or Goodreads.
