Checking the trees.

It was another very frosty morning today, so I have been out to check my trees in the greenhouse, just to see they are ok.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My trees have been inside for almost a week now, to prevent any more rain soaking them,I like to control the amount of water they get in winter.

You can see in the photos that they are still wet and they have not been watered since putting them inside last Monday. 

Still looking good.

Bonsai Thursday.

Another wet morning so not a lot we could do, but Boxie did a bit more work on his Spruce.

------------------------------------------------------------------

We just drank coffee and enjoyed ourselves.

Rain,Rain, Rain.

It looks like the forcasters were right about the weather we were due to have as it has been pouring down all morning.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not the best photo but it does show a big puddle in the garden.

I think I was right to put all my trees under cover to prevent them getting waterlogged.

One of my Larch with the deadwood cleaned and coated with lime sulpher.

Natter night 20th November 2017.

Another night with no trees to be worked on, so I took advantage of this and dewired two of my trees.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Both trees are Larch.

This one needs to have the Jin and Shari cleaned and coated with Lime Sulpher, which may well be done tomorrow.

All gone.

What and where to, you may ask?

My trees of course.

Most of them into this green house.

Looks quite full from outside.

I could squeeze one or two more in.

The overflow has gone into one of the other green houses.

After the rain we had last night and most of today, I have finished moving them, and boy were they heavy with water. It will probably take a week to dry, before they need any more.

A good job done.

The time has come.

After seeing the weather forcast for the next few days I think the time has come for my trees to go into the green houses for winter.Not because of the cold, but they are forcasting a lot of rain and wind and I do not like to have my trees standing in water for a long time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like to control how much water the trees get at this time of year.

Best of both.

Sunday morning and what a beautiful one it is, with an early morning frost, then the sun started to shine.

I think the trees really love this kind of weather as it is more natural for them. Even if the compost freezes it will not do any harm as long as it thaws out during the day.

Yet another day off to enjoy my Bonsai.
