This photo was taken at 4 pm this afternoon. But this morning around 12 noon, the right hand size was in full sun, and the left hand size partly in full sun but dappled and bright.
The tray I can't remember I think at noon, it was also dappled. Me thinks this would suit some bonsai's. I wondered what bonsai would suit this, definitely in summer but some require full sun all the year around. Others have to be winter protected?

The BBQ is actually quite old, and on the left hand side, will be a landscape with some more rocks and the little saplings left but pruned. And hopefully a tree fern, if I can get one cheap from the dept of agriculture and forestry, or is it the Wilderness Association.

I'm very tired right now having been thrown around on a hard ultra sound table, you reckon they would help U move? But I will come back to the site later tonight to view any responses.

Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry can't be SW or SE My house faces north. I'll ask my son, the back garden does get early morning sun. Forget it I will ask my son. East, West, North, South. Sun rises in the East, sets in the west. I was never good at navigation, would get lost travel ing along a straight line, I kid you not!

Sounds like a good spot, depending on how hot the surface of the bbq gets over summer of course? No point placing the plants in afternoon shade if the thing they're sitting on is 50 degrees

Yes thank you Phoenix. I am a bit temp junky. Unless I place wood under the pots? I'll keep that in mind. We don't get much heat in Armidale. If it goes over 30 C we think it is a heat wave. But I know concrete holds heat at night too. But I hadn't really given that much thought, but will. Thanks.

No worries, here in rural sa we don't call it a heatwave until it's over 40 for a few days. I think last summer we had 7 days in a row over 42!

Hi again, the nice thing about Armidale as against Tamworth, the latter is down the hill, is it gets cool at night. I think I have only used a fan twice since 1987, when I moved up from Tamworth to be near the UNE to study. Armidale has strange micro-climate zones places, but we have lots of deciduous trees and pines, because of the climate here. I live in the warmest part of Armidale. We get our share of hoar frost though and minus C in winter. Today it is 20 C but tonight it could go down to 3 C. Not really good for outside bonsais. But I look after them. And we are not near any river systems, like the Namoi down in Tamworth, we have creeks though. And at 3,500 ft absl, we have to watch where are starter bonsais are coming from, like Sydney.
