Adelaide bonsai society dig day
Had a great few hours digging today. Was hard work but well worth it. Thanks again to the organises.
I should have taken some photos there but was too carried away diggingYou do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

)

All olives. From a 40 plus years old olive grove which is getting redeveloped into housing. Thanks again to the club

Well done Sammy!
It was a good dig, I took home two olives for myself. What I will call small size, given that the olives you see in Sammy's photos required a chainsaw to cut the tops off!
Cheers,
Luke

After roughly 20 years of growing bonsai, I reckon I might just be starting to get the hang of it...

I thoroughly enjoyed my first dig as well. Glorious weather, unlike the 31 mm of rain we've had so far today! My trees are potted up so
