Sheila’s garden in Newfoundland & Labrador, Day 1

Today ’s picture are from Sheila Boone in Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada . Sheila says,“I’ve noticed of later that you ’ve been featuring a number of gardens from exotic venue , which I ’ve enjoy immensely ! So , I started to wonder if many ( if any ) of your loyal follower have seen a garden from the most easterly place in North America ! ( Cape Spear being the most eastern point , about a 10 minute drive from St. John ’s , the capital . )

“ My hubby and I bought an oceanfront prop in Musgravetown ( about 2.5 hours from St. John ’s ) about six long time ago for a summertime retreat and finally our retreat home . There was a subsist farmhouse , which we ’ve renovate , but we are in the mental process of building a house overlook the alcove . We had to dig up a road and a great deal of rock to get near the sea and we are finally getting stuffy to completion .

“ The property is approximately 3.5 acres , Canadian geographical zone 5B – a fairly temperate climate for being situate in the center of the North Atlantic Ocean . Although it was once an sure-enough farmplace , there had been nothing in the agency of a garden for many age . Two Malus pumila trees that grow a skilful measure of yield were the only remnants of a planted garden . However , it does have salutary ivory with a timberland of spruce , birch tree , poplar , and raft ash but piles of overgrown haw and many , many grass !

“ Did I refer there was a lot of rock-and-roll ? They do n’t call Newfoundland “ The Rock ” for nothing ! There are also legion lovely wildflower on the attribute , such as fireweed , rhodora , goldenrod and labrador tea . We refurbished an former solution cellar a duet of twelvemonth ago which is now my potting shed ( little lily-white shed with blue trimness ) . We also added a 12′ x 24′ greenhouse last year . ”

Wow , Sheila – you’ve carved a garden out of seeming wild ! What a gorgeous setting . It must be a joyfulness to work in such milieu each day , and your efforts have paid off .
