Update from a novice

[paul smedley]

HI all.

Today I thought I would give a quick update on what my kids all look like after all of your wonderful help and advice.

These little ones are now all in one place. There are a lot of different plants here, most of which are about 4-5 years old and looking very happy finally being looked after.

The fig and maple area is very full thanks to the baby Maples of Neil. The figs are also about 5-6 years old and are on the way to be propagated in the greenhouse.

These were the very tall and root bound ficus Bens that i decided to chop and see if they will come back. if not i haven't lost anything as they were on their way out anyway.

There is so much happening here. Fortunately I now have a database which tells me when to do stuff, what's been done and what to do next. i am sure that eventually I will be thinning them all out until i have a more manageable group of plants. it is so much fun trying all the different types and ways to manipulate them all. there are a couple of plants that i have no idea what they are so that will be a bit more fun finding out what they are and what to do with them.

Anyway just thought i would show you all what inspiration and good old fashioned help looks like.

Cheers P

Kirky that is actually a goldfish plant there to cut down some wind as it is a good heavy pot. Great little plant and very uncommon but not bonsaiable. Had him for a while and propagates really easily.
