Again made a quick chop late last night after work and did a little more this morning.

A little bit of shut eye and more hack and slash.

These seem to be tough little plants so I hope it pulls through ok.
Just need to find me some wire now so as I can start training...

My order of wire came in yesterday afternoon so I had a play.

First time ever wiring so it's ugly but interesting.
I know I have used wire to thick for the branch but I was kind of experimenting...

Ok Here is my Mel as taken of about 10 minutes ago. I think it's coming along pretty well. I guess my styling is probably all wrong and my wiring is atrocious. All part of learning!
