Bonsai Wednesday.

Once again neither Tony or John brought any trees, so I decided to give this Chinese juniper a trim.

Before any work.


A little trim.


A tweak or two.


Finally done.


Bark cleaned as well.
The pot is by Ian Baillie, [ one of his best ]

Nice pot.

Love the colours on this one.

Natter night 8th October 2018.

After a really good night, I am thinking about changing the title to comedy night, as we had a lot of laughs last night. The banter was the best it had ever been, my sides were aching.
-----------------------------------------------------
Not many trees tonight but Graham brought these two groups to get some advice.
The one on the left is Swamp Cypress. The smaller one is Dawn Redwood.


He also brought his entrance fee.Thanks Graham.


I decided to do a little work on this Procumbens juniper.


A good clip out was all that was done.


Looks a little neater now.


Despite the joviality we still managed to get some work done on trees.

Chilly morning.

I have just been outside in the garden and it felt quite chilly this morning, looks like Autumn is really here.

My Hawthorn's showing nice Autumn colours.

Visitor's.

I am expecting some visitor's tomorrow, so I have had a little tidy up, that is cleaned some of my pots.
------------------------------------------------------


Maybe do some more in the morning.

Bonsai Thursday.

I had a very good morning with Dave today when he came over, we decided to have a go at this Procumbens juniper on bogwood.
----------------------------------------------

This is just after the juniper was planted on the bogwood.


It looked quite good, but after a clip out, it looks more like a tree than a bush.


Just a small amount removed.


Thanks to Dave we have found a good source for raw material Procumbens juniper.
