Trident I will update if it gets better but this may be it for fall color. The others have already lost their leaves.

Not sure about the shorts you're wearing on your avatar, but your trees a looking really good. Thanks for updating us. I pick up something new every time you show us pictures of your yard. Looks like you've got some layering in your future. This time I noticed the tie down wires you have on your benches. Are they just loops of insulated aluminum wire? How do you adjust them?

Very nice collection, I love the look of old (or old looking?) wooden shelves.

That's a lot to care for with all you have on your plate. Glad you have found a way to keep the varmints from eating your crops.

Wow, what a collection! It looks like you only have mesh around a few trees. Do the squirrels only target a certain species?
Smoke

Wow! that's only part of it. The mesh is mostly around the maples. The squirrels like sweet bark best.

Few other areas. That big Ca juniper in the middle is ready for a restyle. Looks like a lot of work to me.

Found another shohin juniper in need of a restyle.

All four of my recent restyles. I can't wait to wire something big soon. All this small stuff is wearing me out.

I'm waiting for the leaves to fall before pruning this maple back. It's getting too large to be considered shohin and the branches are getting longer and longer.
Many branches are crossing and a little large. Still working on a pot for this one. Any ideas....in my budget.

I have a small 1/2 screw eye in the back of each shelf. Then I have a screw eye on the front of the shelf. I use 18 gauge galvanised steel wire because the squirrels would sharpen their teeth on the aluminum wire. The wire is covered with a length of silicone aquarium tubing for purchase on the pot. The wire is just wrapped around the screw eye with the eye keeping the wire from falling off yet be easy to take off and put on.

The semi cascade in the green bubble pot is looking real nice, as is oz. What is the yellow leafed maple?
