:::This is going to be a waterfall!

Img_1622 Img_1623 Img_1628

In Newfoundland, we are blessed a million times over with rock.  Yes, I said blessed.  This huge piece of bedrock is being used as a waterfall with top and bottom ponds for recirculation.  It's 20° C  here today, just fantastic for October!

::Layering Bulbs and Spot Composting

So today was taping day for the TV show Living Newfoundland and Labrador.   The shows will air in the coming weeks so hopefully Paul (the camerman and editor) will make us look good. Frankly, I need all the help I can get! 

We demonstrated layering fall bulbs ( yes you can do this ) it's a great idea for small garden beds and an opportunity to have a full season of colour.

Spot composting allows you to decompose your kitchen waste right where you need it..in the garden. Perfect for lazy gardeners!

Thanks CBC for the opportunity to work with you and a special thank-you to Ms. Alison Milley for being such a great photographer!

:::Fall Burn-out:::

I admit it.  My fuel guage is getting low. Our season is so short and demand is high and I'm getting a little tired!  I speak to many people in the industry and this happens this time of year.  I can guarantee you though, we all love our jobs and wouldn't have it any other way! 

Hopefully we can escape hurricane season unscathed and have a productive fall.  Autumn is beautiful in Newfoundland!

Watch your local garden centres for sales begining soon.  Some fall bloomers that work well here are echinacea, rudbeckia, and sedum.

Fun Stuff

Img_0517 I know I harp on scale a lot (it's the one thing that can throw an otherwise flawless project 'off'!) but here is a perfect example of where the size of the home and property allowed for big pieces of limestone tile to form the terrace, just outside the walk-out basement.  I'll take another one in the Spring when the plantings have had a chance to fill in.

Have I mentioned today how much I love my job?!
