More space on the benches.
After selling a few more trees last Sunday, I now have a bit more space on the benches.
-------------------------------------------------
Not as cluttered up as it was, I can now see the trees better. It also allows more light around them.

Natter night 23rd September 2019.
A very busy night once more, with the natter being mainly about our trip on Sunday to Doncaster.
------------------------------------------
Kevin brought this root over rock Ivy, purchased as the show.
Which Robert showed Kevin how to repot.
It was potted into an Erin pot which suited it very nicely.
Then Graham arrived with this Nice Oak, also purchased on Sunday, Robert was busy again talking him through how to prune it.
Ken brought back his triple trunk Juniper to have the bark cleaned.
Boxy, having brought his high pressure washer duly got to grips with it.
The tree seems to have shrunk a little.
Boxy was having a good time and judging by the smile on Graham's face, he was too.
Caption's please on the last picture.
Joking aside it was a very good night.

Natter night 16th September 2019.
Started early again with a visit from Phil, Mark and Peter from Ireland, on the way back from the National show in Bury.
--------------------------------
Having a good look around my garden.
Into the tidied up studio, we gave out bits of wire to everyone to mark a front on this juniper and came up with four different views.
It will be wired and styled.
A small Squamata juniper.
Grahams small Larch.
A very enjoyable night.
Going potty again.
Yesterday I acquired yet another pot for my collection, it just keeps on growing.
-------------------------------------------
Made by Paul Rodgers Ceramics, who is quite new to the Bonsai scene.
I believe he will have a stand at the next Heathrow show, so pop in and have a look for yourselves.
