The late July garden
There is not much to report as far as blooms are concerned but due to some generous rainfalls during the past week, the garden is green and not as tired looking as it normally is this time of year. The heat and humidity, coupled with drought, is not a pretty picture. Of course, things would look better if I were out weeding, but this time of year I'm doing good to just get out and take photos.

I like the way you have those concrete blocks arranged under the arbor. Very interesting effect, I may try that myself.
I like the way the paths wind thru the property. The birdhouses or dove cotes add interest too.

Love the structures, your pergola is a gem.
I was also wondering how your dwarf mondo grass is doing (that you planted last year, I think). Mine - that I planted in 2007 - seemed to be doing well until this year when growth has stopped.
The grass is doing great. It hasn't spread much yet but it is living.
Beautiful photos. What is the tree on the right side of the eighth photo?
