Trellis work update
The trellis is now complete and the pergola is up

With all the rain we have had the ground is very sodden.
Sadly, this Eucalyptus gunnii has to be moved. Hopefully the transplant will work!

All that remains is to notch in the top rafters and screw in place.
We used 3x3" inch posts for the trellis. 6x4' pannels with clearance of about a foot to ensure the woodwork is free standing from the soil.
We then used 6 posts at 4x4" for the pergola, with the joists being 6x2". Having a double row of joists gives a great aesthetic look.
The rafters are 5x2", with a simple Japanese detail. These will be notched in at an inch depth

Spring in Winter
Carrying out a winter tidy up in this coastal south Cornwall garden, we came across more than 20 flowering shrubs and perennials.
This variegated Camelia suffers salt laden gales throughout the year and yet it is a huge thriving plant.

Above is Euryops pectinatus, one of many in the garden fully in bloom.
And this is another South African Euryops the species being chrysanthemoides... Another 2 species are grown in this garden, virgineus, which is also flowering now and tysonii and all yellow!!
A delightful little Fuchsia encliandra subsp. encliandra. So dainty and long flowering too.
Also on show in the garden are Rosmary, Viburnum tinus still going strong over the winter, Hebe's, Osteospermum's. Dotted all around the garden are Echium pininana, whose flower spikes are beginning to elongate now, so very soon spring will really be here.... Now if only the weather can play ball!!

Cobblestone path
We just finished this work in Penzance. It started as a garden clearance with a driveway to gravel.
Then we called in the digger driver..
And now we have a blank canvas with which we may create!
We reused the large pile of granite onsite for re-edging the entrance way..
Then added to the brief was cobbling.
The process of cobblestone laying is most pleasant indeed!
Pointing
Now we are nearly there, just a small area to turf
