What ever happened to Peter Tea and John Geanangel?

I don't see any updates from these two.
I hope they are doing well and would love to see updates to some of their projects.

John is still here but only posts occasionally. I see most of his on line activity is over on FB. I can’t say I’ve ever seen Peter T here, though

I believe John got tired of being slapped around all the time and became a bit disheartened.

John had a great blog but I guess he switched over to FB.

I was also asking about John recently...
I'd love to see updated pics of his big Crape Myrtle, The Boxwood Path planting, and the azaleas...

John G is the man, I REALLY wish he would use this site. If you click on his profile though his last quote was pretty anti-bnut. Unfortunate, I admire his work with natives

Edit: nvm I was an idiot and posted too quickly

Pretty sure @Eric Group works with John a bit so he might know what John's up to.

He was out of sorts that I asked a plant ID - we traded words but that is certainly not why he does not frequent here.

He virtually stopped awhile before that. It seemed he was getting fed up with redundant questions and being rather busy at work, home, and his Club he simply, and understandably did/does not have time.

I really like his work and unusual large plantings. And I do understand his situation.

His Blog makes him available either way.

I think the last blog post was 2008???

 

[wlambeth]

I liked and appreciated his blog because the information was a great teaching resource.
I get a little concerned for these folks.
When you get to know someone from the work they publish, and they go silent, I wonder if they have undergone a major life change and hope they are well.

He has a great series of videos on YouTube but nothing new their either. I suspect burnout.

 

[Dav4]

Folks, he is posting regularly over on Facebook.

? Boooo!!!
I've never been on Facebook, or anything else but Bnut, and I ain't gonna start now!
Lol!

Hey, Facebook is sooooo over...

Hahaha!

Yeah facebook isn't a fun place to be. I guess I gotta do what I gotta do..

I am lucky to call him a friend and to be so close to both he and Ken Duncan. They are both still very active in Bonsai and great at what they do. As someone mentioned above, John does post pretty often on FB. It is kind of silly IMO to be so anti Facebook as so many people seem to be. It, like any website, is what you make of it. If you post and follow a bunch of negative people, it seems like a Cess Pool, if you are positive and share good things, it is a great asset.

He did get fed up with this forum for multiple reasons but it is not really my place to speak his mind.

I don’t post much any more either, had a bad winter- both personal and Bonsai wise- still trying to put the pieces back together I guess. Hope to have stuff back on track soon, but if ya’ll need a John G fix- go to Facebook! Plenty of good forums to surf for Bonsai there! Bonsai snobs is a personal fave...

Thanks Eric! I automatically pooh-poohed FB so I would fit in with the general attitude of all the haters, being a curmudgeon and all. And I don't remember why I got on board. But I must say...for me it's only been a good experience. Mostly it's about bonsai. I put up what I do now and then and like the comments, etc. And the auction pages have been very helpful and trouble-free. I've sold a lot of pots and there's more to come. And also have bought a few. Some great material being shipped all over too. Can't ship here though so I just gloat.
My 2 cents.

Hi Eric, does John have a page on Facebook where he is sharing his work? Or is it on various group pages? Thanks for any help.
