The summer is flying by

Its July already.  I thought I'd post a few photos of the garden. 

The mixed border is beginning to bloom.                                                                           The Cornus kousa is still superb.

That Clematis is 'Pastel Princess'

Onions looking OK but way behhind other years.

Brassicas in a cage, I'm a bit annoyed I found a few cabbage white caterpillars in there yesterday, so obviously one of the little devils got in there.

I wonder if the Carrot Fly has been in there to.
