I went mad with allium this year. Last year they were so fantastic, the
christophii ones (which are still dried in a vase and still look pretty
nice), that I think I have the perfect spot for them. So I've got in
there now caeruleum ones, spearocephalon ones, the allium hair ...
quite alien looking, and the fantasticos carinatum pulchellum. And
before you ask, I've written them down in my diary - there's no way I
can remember them all.


I've got several different ones which I dug up while removing a
'rockery' of a heap of earth pocked with lumps of concrete put there by
the previous incumbent as a handy place to lose the spoil from molishing
a bathroom.

I'm not sure which was the greater eyesore, the bathroom or the 'rockery'.

Anyway, the rockery is no more, and a short drive to the
shed/garage-for-motorbike is under construction in its place, cunningly
incorporating aforementioned lumps of concrete in its - for want of a
better word - structure.

So, at least two varieties of Allium from there, a single forlorn
ransoms bulb, and now, some garlic. This means more spoil from the drive
excavations, because I've used the rockery hump and all of the
excavations to date to raise the level of the front garden, which is
prone to get rather soggy during wet weather, because my front hedge is
separated from the road by a foot or so of grass, and there are no
drains on the road. An Erie Great Lake appears outside my front gate,
and I'm thinking of having a drawbridge there.

So, to reduce the pudding consistency of the ground when it rains a lot,
raising its level seemed the sensible option when I had a *LOT* of soil
to dispose of. There's another 'rockery' at the bottom of the garden,
and this one covers the second chamber of the septic tank. This has to
go (the 'rockery', not the tank) and a greenhouse will live there
instead.
