Well... my repotting season is over a lot sooner than I was hoping. Getting my gallbladder removed today. I might have some friends come over to repot the ones that really can't wait another year.

Unfortunate timing... Wish you a speedy recovery!

Lunch hour meditation with my root slayer. Dig them up then plant them down else where.
These were growing under the canopy of bigger trees so they were trying to reach higher thus don't have much taper.

Was out checking my plants and was taking a closer look at my cork oak seedlings. Noticed a little clump that all popped up at the same time. Dug down a bit and it looks like all 4 are coming from the same acorn. Always something new and interesting when growing plants!

Found these on the side of the road for garbage pickup. Torn out of a neighbor’s landscaping, bare roots, baking in the sun. I soaked them for a day, put them in soil, cut them back to hopefully balance the foliage with what remains of the roots and then crossed my fingers.

Removed wiring on some bald cypress. After a few weeks of growth, the wire already started to bite in.
Hope it went well and you recover quickly. I had mine removed well before they could to it laparoscopically.

Two bonsai-related tasks today. First, potted up my nursery-stock Blue Atlas Cedar (it hasn't really decided whether it's going to be literati or extremely-informal upright when it grows up - I'm just going to let it grow out a bit this year):
The second, simpler but weightier project was moving the bald cypress up from the basement. It arrived at the end of a cold snap here so it wasn't safe to put it outside right away. I got it settled into the basement by the egress window for light, a 20 gal planting bag and 50 lbs of pumice, watered it in nicely, and THEN realized that at some point I had to get the bastard up the stairs and out to the patio someday. >_> This lead to the usual progression of such projects, at least for me:
Step 1: Planning, this is going to be great, I'm a competent adult and can do this.
Step 2: Got the plastic tub ordered, everything's lined up, no problem.
Step 3: It's go time!
Step 4: I immediately regret this decision.
Step 5: Well, it was a good spine while it lasted. At least the tree will be happy now.
And it is! In spite of its incarceration in the basement (and having to adjust from a MUCH warmer climate to this one), it's popping new little buds!
I got it this far and this is where it's just gonna stay for a while:
The weeping cherry in the background has also started blooming and is looking pleasantly springlike in spite of it pissing down rain all day.

Oh, went on a different route on my morning walk & noticed one neighbour has had his whole yard hacked back. I missed it all!
