Carla,
A few tulips and late-season narcissus are still in bloom. My first iris of the season opened yesterday. Some animal (a ground squirrel, I think) is nibbling the foliage to the ground, but fortunately only a small portion of the iris have been affected. Observing new damage keeps me spraying Liquid Fence regularly. This is good since deer loooove to eat the roses outside my fenced garden, and when they strike they will often do much more damage. I, too, have some salvia blooming, with lots of bees buzzing them. I planted a lot more this spring and it will be some weeks before the newly planted ones bloom.
We've been surprised by how much difference adding pavers can make to a space. The garden has had three or four paving projects over course of about five years, and the pavers cover places we've already worn paths through, usually. The resulting space has an organic feel. Shady spaces are so important here in AZ. We are lucky enough to have some really mature alligator junipers that provide great shade. We have a hammock underneath one of them. Then there's a swing we bought two years ago at Costco that has a built-in awning. A 6' x 16' gazebo sounds like a lovely space either for sitting or for growning plants that scorch easily in bright sunlight. I just planted a wisteria and when I was finished I realized that it's at the edge of a spot that would be very well suited to a gazebo. I think Gazebos go well with wisteria and vice versa, but I have yet to actually do this in my garden... Always good to have more projects for the garden..
I'm busy here, too, putting plants in the ground: roses, maximilian sunflowers, euphorbia, and daylilies.
Have Fun !
