The lady garden

Seeing as my last garden fred was closed. (I just searched it lol) here's a new one.

My actual outside garden still looks like a breakers yard but I did get a bonsai kit for xmas and today one of them gave birth

That ones called a Larch.

Will look like this one day

If i dont kill it


Ive also got some Norway spruce, Scott's pine, dawn redwood but none of those have popped yet.

 

Why didn't you buy a ready made one? Or just cut a branch off a small tree and put that in a pot?

 

Wouldnt Know what to cut tbh.

Not much of a tree guy tbh bro

I like houseplants but stick to the ones easy to look after and cactus. Wouldn't have the patience for Bonzai.

 

No houseplants, the cats eat them all.

Down along the creek towards the back of the property there is a couple acres covered in nothing but mountain Laurel and wild azaleas. Does that count as a garden if nobody planted them?

Only thing I've planted at the new place so far since moving in is 11 rabbiteye blueberry bushes. Got 4 apple trees, 3 plum trees, 6 kiwi/ kiwiberry vines and various other fruit trees and bushes waiting for me to plant them though. (Sand cherry, chokecherry, few kinds of Juneberries, Highbush Cranberries, native red Mulberries)... Some good wine making berries.

Also got gooseberries and Currants arriving in March (quite surprised to find because gooseberries and Currants virtually unheard of in the US... Have to grow them in full shade here because sun is too much for them)

Hopefully can get them all in the ground before the hot weather really starts.

 

Me lil Bonsai has wings

 

I be like this in no time

Update on the lady garden


I now have two bonsai baby's.

The Larch is going well.

And i just checked the rest and I've had a Scots pine one pop up too.

Will post a pic 2moro

Arigato, mata ne

 

You been watering it with Red Bull?

 

Nah just water bro.

I gotta do some reading up as to what I do now they are here lol

 

My lil bonsai family is growing by the day.

Watashi wa watashi no mune no naka de sorera no sewa o shimasu, arigato

 

I'd go Nitrogen for the spring and summer with a touch of phosphorus and potassium. During the winter switch that round and use just a tad nitrogen and up the other two.

 

Apparently they stay in those pots for a few weeks before i put them in separate ones.

Then im supposed to buy some special bonsai seedling mud and some pellet things you put on top of the soil every month or two to feed.

What you said made no sense to me but reminded me of when i tried to do a hydro grow and that didnt end well
