Went swimming off my dock, after checking the Sd card on my cam I relized I wasn't the only one cooling off, there's gators down there too. I don't stay in for too long.

Lost footage from a Captain Morgan commercial.
Proper watering time for Portulacaria Afra.

I wired this tree back together, not sure why? Lol

I like it. You should carry the wire marks throughout the tree and name it Cenobite.

Repotted more tropicals, a Chinese hat plant & a Ficus microcarpa. Replaced all my fertilizer tea bags & mesh baskets with new fertilizer. Then I put some movement in some oak saplings, six of them to be exact, here's one.

Old re-used wire for the win.
I'm a self confessed wire hoarder, won't cut it off unless I have too, just unwrap it if I can, & I do. Shhh, don't tell anyone. 
If the spider leaves twice he was done, or had to go to the bathroom.

I also put an air layer on my discount rack JM today.

Here’s one from BW
wire on the first branch from a class, but waiting til end of next winter to go at the rest. You can basically already see it, though.
Got lazy about fish emulsion so it could be healthier, I’m back on it though. Laze has no place here.
But yeah they have great stuff. I think NEBG gets more white pine but I kinda embarrassed myself there during the pandemic / isolation years when I went bananas so I haven’t been in awhile.

Me too. Northeast Bonsai is doing their club auction this Sunday if you can rally and pick out trees to sell.
I'd like to go, but I just joined and I think I'd rather go to a couple regular meetings first.
I could definitely find a few things to offload though...
You do need to be a dues-paying member, but it's only $25 and you can pay day of.

Riding out hurricane Beryl 
. Am nervous that my shade cloth won't hold. No electricity for us. I moved most of the pots off the benches last night

“One seed Juniper” aka Richard Le has been doing the most incredible stone work in my bonsai garden tying into the rest of the landscaping. The only negative is his craft is so good it makes all the previous projects look like chit! Still a few weeks away from completing.

Not to mention they'll plant the bird seed in your pots

Bought this Hinoki Cypress on clearance that took a beating at the nursery this summer. Removed all the dead and removed a few branches for some basic structure. Gonna make a wooden training box and slip pot it in. At the bare minimum for $20 I have a nice accent piece for the patio even if I don't bonsai it in the future.

Yeah that’s how I feel - I need to make sure I’m paid up on dues + want to go to a few meetings first. I’m juuuuust far enough away that I’m always lazy about going to meetings.
I’m gonna try to go to that anyways though. Might grab some stuff to bring and see if it’s what they want from sellers but might just attend and not bring anything so I don’t look like I’m just trying to offload junk.
I’ve been decent about paying dues and bad about showing up

I've only played with a couple of air layers, but after reading a bunch about that sort of callusing issue I've made a point of girdling at least 2 fingers width, more if it's a bigger branch with lots of growth going above the girdle.
