Hey Sprinkler Head! June in Georgia means the heat is cranked up to full blast, but don’t let that scare you away from planting. In fact, this is prime time to get your hands dirty with some real heat-loving champs that thrive when the sun is blazing and the days are long. Let’s dive into some veggies and flowers that laugh at the heat and look good doing it.
First up, veggies that can handle the Georgia sun without throwing a tantrum. Okra is basically the Beyoncé of southern gardens, resilient, beautiful, and practically made for the spotlight. Sweet potatoes also love that heat and will spread out happily, giving you a delicious harvest come fall. Don’t forget about southern peas (aka cowpeas); they’re drought-tolerant, protein-packed, and basically the MVPs of summer veggies.
Now for the flowers. Zinnias are a no-brainer for June planting, they’re colorful, cheerful, and basically the life of any garden party. Sunflowers, with their giant sunny faces, not only bring the heat but attract pollinators and birds to your yard. They also add that perfect touch of Southern charm and drama to your garden beds.
Of course, watering these hot-weather heroes properly is key. Early morning deep soaks are your best friend, or better yet, automate your routine with timers and drip systems from Cheap Sprinklers. Their gear makes it easy to keep your garden hydrated without sweating buckets yourself. So go ahead, plant those heat lovers, and keep your garden thriving through the Georgia summer. Sprinkler Head, you’ve got this!
