Just a reminder that this comp is up and running for those that entered (see the link below for the separate entries thread if you're curious ... or can't remember what tree you entered :o :palm: )
viewtopic.php?p=272363#p272363

NOTE : DON'T POST YOUR PROGRESSION SHOTS
BUT, do take some progression shots so that we have a nice timeline of what you did and how it panned out when the final entry is due.

Once again, good luck to all who are involved!

Ahhh... come on Tim... just a quick pic! You never know, it may look like 30 dog turds in a couple of years and then we’ll be able to see the progression! :D :whistle: :P

There’s a fair chance of it looking like 30+ turds! I’ll take a photo of it as it now over the next few days.

I’m a bit lazy so I’m just reposting my April reminder again to keep people focussed on the big issues right now.
That’s right, don't worry about CoVid, you’ve got progression shots to take for this incredibly important bonsai comp you entered a couple of years ago … and there’s less than 12 months left!

May as well do it now, rain in Sydney has stopped play in the Ashes so what else would you be doing…

SEE BELOW

Good timing, over Christmas I remembered I had the tree and put some wire on it :lol:

Photo taken but still firmly resembling turds

Which part Sno… the CoVid bit or your entry… or both! :P

I’m going to have to withdraw my entry sadly, it never really thrived and then went down hill rapidly after Christmas and is off to the big mulch pile in the sky now
