repotted a mame juniper into a painted tosui (I know pot/jita choice is controversial, but they set a scene).



in less-than-ideal lighting: on a lake-like ceramic jita in koyo's signature oribe glaze


setting inspiration for the (incomplete) composition:


next will be jin refinement, reapplication of lime sulfur, and live vein treatment

I repotted and wired my little American hornbeam tonight. It lost a branch this winter but there’s new buds popping on the trunk so hopefully it will replace the lost one.

Repot madness

 

[Maiden69]

Received my zelkova and JM seedlings from MattO, all the zelkovas were planted in separate rootpouch, and the JM's were planted in a kabudachi style in a large #3 Rootpouch, with a hexagonal tile that I drilled 1/4" holes on it. The last of the JM seedlings was planted by itself with a 1/4" stainless washer. Pics of the zelkovas later, I had to put everything away as it was getting late. I will place some aluminum wire separating the JMs once I move the bag into a plastic pot. This morning I am repotting the big trees... not looking forward to it as I have no space to work on.

Moved a sweet gum from a basket to a training pot.

My son (contractor) recently built me this deck and a new fence outside and around my work shed that will soon be a woodworking shed. With the scraps I built these two grow benches and a half dozen grow boxes. Still enough left to build another bonsai bench and a few monkey poles. I have about 4 hours in these two grow benches and the grow boxes. Actually done Friday, not today. I will make two more of these benches and some more grow boxes, but I will be needing some 2x4s.

BTW, the legs you will notice have two 2x6 going one way and two the other. With a minimum amount of wood this provides tables that more stable and tend not to rock.

Was wondering if I'm on the right path with my 5 year old maple clumps, 5 seedlings fused together, 1st year in training pot. Would you have trimmed it smaller?

Awesome deck and bench. Doesn't the Wolmanized wood have arsenic in it?????

 

[KateM]

My teapot is done. I like it. It dribbles, but I had commercially made teapots that did that... at least it's pretty.

Picked up my glazed pots. Anybody wants any?




This one has crackle glaze over white slip covering speckled clay and the iron speckles still came through... Need to India ink it...

Threw a couple things...

 

[KateM]

Brewed tea in my teapot and had a cup. Oolong.

They have not used arsenic in many years. They use copper. I have plants that have been in pressure treated wood for 30 years.

Beautiful work Kate! The white with lite blue is sweeeeet! What are the dimensions? The tea pot came out awesome!

Well it’s snowing outside . Even this warm winter it’s still winter so none of the cool stuff you all are doing . I’m not a great fan of starting seeds to early inside . But it’s also time I have some . Tropical or let’s say stuff that’s in the house next winter . Of course I have to be a bit different . The tray is 1/2 full of Quercus Virginiana . Live oak . And 1/2 full of European olive . The olive are kind of cool story a friend brought them back . From a trip to Italy thinking of me . They were sourced in southern Italy at one of the oldest . Known plantations of fruit bearing trees . That were planted by the Roman’s .

Scotch pine under development. shifted from Anderson flat to first bonsai pot with the aid of a few gadgets! Repot time 1.5 hours! Lots of compaction, grafting and pad development left to go on this one. lengthy project.

Thank you. It's 6 x 1 3/4 on the inside.
Do you want it?
