I didnt get to buy any but i want to come along on Sat just so I dont feel left out!

Phew Thought we would never get there at times
We have decided on the kiss strategy at the moment and keeping it at cost price. I think we need to round that off to $16 a bag leaving the change for Steven. I doubt it will cover costs for food and drinks but it's a start
It's a pity I can't make it to collection day. It would be great catching up for lunch in those surroundings.

Still a little shop keeping to sought out before the collection day.

I have two unread messages in my out box from Nereus and alanpeck please read your Pm's if we can't get confirmation that you still want the bags I can't guarantee they won't be sold to other members. Maybe they can't read the messages so if any one knows how to contact them please help them out.
I think everyone else has confirmed their order.

Oh and I think this is a first for any international bonsai forum so congratulations to every one that participated

Hi all
Just go home from Stevens and our Pickup day
See the attached photos

Ken

:O How much for the turtle?!

Just kidding... I don't have a pond to put him in... yet!

After the sorting and load the cars, We decided that Stevens Black pines needed some work so out came the tools and wire and away we went

We them moved to the front gate where Steven has another Pine planted on the footpath garden !this has been here for nearly 2 years and is MUCH larger than it was apparently.
For those doubters as to whether planting in the ground is beneficial. the Branch steven is trying to bend had to have 2 wrap[s of 5 mm wire to hold it and is only 2 years old and would be 2 inches thick
the end of the branch which was last years growth would at least be 1 inch thick!!

Last is a final shot of Steves "Office Boardroom

Any jobs going mate ? I would love to work somewhere like this

Thanks for doing all you do for us here

Ken
