I was ready for the last shedding and was gutted because the wind blew them in the opposite direction away from my house. I can't go sweeping them up outside someone else's house
Hit 40 got married, has a baby and then started becoming a gardener. Mid life crisis maybe without the motorcycle
I have mini trees and seeds growing all over for future bonsai / japanese rockery ideas. And the ever watchful eye of anyone throwing out a chunky tree that I can cut down and style later
You've grafted very hard to achieve that result and you'll always have something to see - I think that's important in smaller gardens, and something I try to do here.
Love your 'bonsai bench' area
How much time do you spend tending them and keeping them trimmed ?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Not as much as you may think fairy girl. A bit here and there but let grow out some before styling again and trim back
I go to a couple of work shops a year to work on and buy more. Then maintenance through year and rewire sometimes
This was my present from wife a few weeks ago.. my new azalea. needs some major growing out to create the canopy but should be good in a couple of years
Bonsai-marc, your Japanese inspired rockery garden is lovely, you did a great job. Your Bonsai area is great, you have some really lovely ones on your blog. I do love the look of Bonsai's but am no good at keeping them.

Ill go sweep off all the leaves off pavement for my leaf mould new area.
I used to walk this pavement and is awkward covered in wet leaves so surely sweeping up is good for the community
May get some looks though

Well done Marc. Your garden looks great.

It's a fascinating skill Marc. I like the precision of it - the creation of something very intricate

Took this from the kitchen window earlier - rocket still flowering it's head off, as are the Jap anemones
