I'm Back
I have been on holidays for a month and I have returned just in time for the market day.
While I was away I relied on an automatic watering system to water all my trees, and fortunately it worked quite well.
However I was very surprised to see half a tree had been broken off in a storm and crashed onto a couple of my bonsai areas. Again fortunately the structures held and no bonsai were damaged. Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Re: I'm Back
Good to see you back Watto.
Holy sh&7 sticks! That’s some tree!
Looks like the overhead structure saved one.
I hate those nervous moments when you’re on holidays and you start worrying about the automatic watering system.

Re: I'm Back
WB Watto, looks like that broken tree has given your bonsais a bit of extra shade over the extreme summer! "Phew!"

Very lucky Watto. Incredible that no plant (nor person!) was injured.
On the remaining stump - AlpineArt might come and dig the stump and make a bonsai!
Bonsai teaches me patience.

Re: I'm Back
Great news Watto no bonsai carnage
time for the chain saw, you should be able to get some nice bonsai stands/boards out of it.
