      or "2 par terre and a grove of orange trees". Excellent recent work on the garden so far. If you haven't read it, can I suggest The Arcadian Friends by Tim Richardson? Excellent background reading for an 18c gardening project.

      A pinery for the growing of pineapples is under construction - still fiddling with the roof. A maze is an interesting idea
