Crazy crazy

I once met the man who laid the crazy paving around the front of our house; he did it when he was a teenager and I'm sure had no idea of the amount of weeding it would require all these years later. He sells books for a living so it obviously didn't inspire a career in hard landscaping. The cherry tree, which was probably just a sapling when the paving was laid, is now creating much uneveness amongst the crazy slabs, but it looks beautiful in blossom so is forgiven. The slight or light rainfall we must have had in the night, and again during the morning, has left the garden generally looking lush and the sweetpeas have definitely benefited from it. They are beginning to be big enough to entwine around their supports. Aliums are doing well too; some already in bloom and others with huge buds just waiting to burst forth. I'm telling them to hold on for another week or so though so they look at their best on 13 June.
