Part of the job is thinking about what to do next....Peter and Max prune Yew "hedge"

What you can't see in this picture of the yews on the east side of the front garden in Adelphi, is the heads that we are creating a bit farther down from long branches of the yew. The original plan, I think five years ago, was to do Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guards the gate to hell. The problem is that the heads seem to be more mooselike than canine. Never one to turn down serendipitous opportunity, I am growing antlers and we will reassess in a year or so.
