April update

Exactly the same method to get to where this is at now as my other entry( same container)

Only difference is that in the long period I didn’t turn this, the new growth after the chop has only grown from one side.

However I kind of like that and was thinking it’s looking like a windswept style so maybe that’s where I’ll take this. Thoughts?

If I do go down that path I imagine I’ll have to move it into its own container (colander or foam box) so I can control the direction. Am I right in thinking that? So hopefully it’ll be ok to move it at this time of year. If I’m not touching the roots and leaving the soil intact I think it should be ok. Again please give feedback as I’m still learning and could use your options.
Thanks
