thats absolutely a bonsai garden

I know, right?

 

[PerryB]

Volunteered again as docent at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens for my club's bonsai pavilion. 71 vistors today---several of them very excited about getting into bonsai. It's great that I cn actually refer them to the closest nursery which not only has 'finished' bonsai trees but also seedlings and 2-3 year old pre-bonsai, and soil, pots, tools, etc.

Plopped this azalea root chunk in a pot. No idea if it will live. I could have had about 20 of these but I didnt have the room or time to separate them all. This one had some particularly nice movement. If it dies no harm no foul.



The back side..


Potted in a 50/50 mix of compost and grit.


Plopped next to my other azalea rescue from the spring.


Tomorrow Ill tackle the oak... may need to make a box for it.

And now my kids are seriously into bonsai.

Took a ton of shimpaku cuttings as an intermission to the real work I’m doing today. Think this chunky one will take?

 

[pandacular]

The real work. Pruned this juniper in preparation for fall wiring and began cleaning the live vein. I love the white red contrast, and I haven’t even added lime sulfur yet.

Playing with my buttonbushes.
Hmm that somehow sounds naughty.

Is now a good time to strike shimpaku cuttings? If so, I may take a handful. I have some decent extensions on a few of mine.


So far, just watered and admired the trees.


Weekly Fertilized my Vance contest mugo as per his guidelines...


Wife found a five leaf clover?


Took down the baldfaced hornets net.

Yesterday I took this pic of what I call "my office" now that I'm retired,

I don’t think it’s the best time, but I’m already pruning the tree anyway, so it’s either throw em in the bin or stick em.

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Finished 8 boxes and a long box I am going to try as a cutting propagator once I make a cover.

Crossing my fingers that my son waters my trees while we're on vacation. No pictures, just visualize me pondering this while drinking a beer on our patio, looking at the lake.

Youd think this:


Would have more roots than this:


Didnt even bother potting it up. Lol. Oh well.
