Stripped 7' power cable at work and have blisters to show for it. Going to anneal it tonight.

I recommend unraveling the wires from each other and rolling them individually first. If you anneal the whole cable the copper wires will work harden as you unravel them, and much harder to use and more prone to breaking.

More blisters, I know, but ask me how I learned this.

You are kicking butt and taking names at the ceramics studio! Beautiful work as always!

 

[Faisal Ahmad]

do the grafting today for my water jasmine

 

[The Barber]

The Weigela I potted up have all started pushing leaves. Those internodes are tight to boot! I think I'm gonna like these...a lot

 

[Mike Corazzi]

Strap a rubber bungee cord over the top of the pot to hold it down to the table, less distracting lol.

Did that last year. Worked great. But I can't find them. They're cheap though.

You want me to get my rocks off?

Oh, figured I'd share this...Salix Boydii "Boyd's Willow" I pruned on February 15th...nuts how fast it is healing over! (Love the photos this galaxy 24 ultra takes)

Nursery cotinus / smoke bush gets a roomy but real pot from Walsall Studio Ceramics (UK) for the new season.

trimmed up the ficus forest stump and added a bus.

Goofing around, that is a Harmony Kingdom trinket.

I thought the buss was dead wood before I saw the second photo. Well done.

Well, I really did.

Kudos to anyone who can see the difference. I sure as hell can't.

...................................Okay, enough for today. ....and that rock has to stay so the wind won't make me need a new pot.

I have a really bad sinus infection today so I was only able to get one little tree repotted.

This ugly little Iseli nursery mugo has some really terrible roots so it's getting bagged for two years. Untangling them was awful. Hope I can get some better growth on it and fix the knuckling. I'll get around to wiring it some day.

Hey @PerryB... I found the bungee straps. From last year.
So I got my rocks off.

Last year when I got them, I asked Home Depot if they had any akadama colored bungees. They called Security.



Well, there IS one rock. Gotta have rocks! Can't have blank space.

Dug deeper into rootballs of some garden yews. Turned out there was another 4 inches of taper below-ground.

March club meeting was today where @WavyGaby did a pine workshop. I also donated a few tropicals to the club raffle.

That was a great donation! Great turn out at the class, too. Lots of happy faces. Photo for inspiration

Guaranteed not to dissolve rubber?

I went to a repotting event at the Pacific Bonsai Museum. Aarin Packard and bonsai assistant Courtney put this Vaughn Banting bald cypress into a gorgeous @NaoTK pot. It was really nice, as we got a full tutorial and pot selection excercise led by Aarin and an explanation of the pot’s design by Nao.
Also attached a few Prunus in blow, as well as a great maple/rhododendron rock planting that I hadn’t seen before.

Had my friend @Tycoss and his son over, watched him do some work on his bougie, and cleaned up my new little Port. Need to pick a front now
