soz mate, my bad, i thought hugh said squamata, i didnt read properly! >just put it down to bonsai induced sleep deprivation.
Although i have got allot of potting, pruning and shaping done over the weekend so far!! stoked!! It was lightly sprinkling rain all day here yesterday! Love It!
im new to juniper's, never cared too much for them until i watched LF WOB
hey hope your going to take some picys of your lil (shimp in training) stockpile when you start working?? do you have them wired yet or too small??
Id like to get a cheap little shimp starter... (are they hard to find at garden nursery's??
