Hey AB folk, put the 30th November in your diary - this is a good sale day; a day to pick up trees, pots and other bonsai related material. If last year is anything to go by, there will a great mix of excellent mature stock but also good young trees too. Something for everyone.

Come and enjoy the sale and as noted, there will be a small display of trees too.

Cheers,

some pics from the past

Yep, come along and say hi. My step-dad and I will have a couple of tables.

I'm not sure what he'll have yet but I imagine that I'll have a range of Chinese elm seedlings. You know how I love my forests... but how many can a man have. I'll have four or so 'starter' forests - I haven't counted but probably around twenty seedlings in each tray - two years old with the tap roots cut in the first year and re-potted in early spring this year. You could keep the tray whole or split 'em up into seperate trees - whatever floats your boat. Apart from this I reckon I'll have a whole range of Chinese elm seedlings in clumps and plenty of other stuff too. I am in reduce mode, trying to earn a few pennies as I rationalise stock and move from starter to intermediate stock.

If last year is any indication, there will be plenty of other sellers with far more advanced stock than I - so plenty available, depending on what you want to play with. Come and have a look-see.

Cheers,

Mark

Looking forward to the 30th November.

I am madly getting together pots for the sale too, MJL! I guess I will see you there!
I will have some woodfired stock too for the first time... looking forward to catching up.

Please post some of the wood-fired pots - flame can make for some lovely subtle surfaces!

It's getting very close now, so if you haven't put it in your diary yet, do it now

Val has posted some of her pots on Facebook

Hey Gavin, the wood fired stuff has sold soooo fast... I have a few left - and another wood firing scheduled for the first week of December.. [/attachment=2]20191014_092628doc.jpg[/attachment]
There are a few others too - most that are left are shohin sized. The next firing will have bigger pots, and a lot of pots with texture!
All these pots were is a 3 day firing.

I wish I knew how to use this program properly!!

Hey Tracey,

I look forward to catching up on the weekend. If you have a laptop, bring it along and I'll show you how to load photos (albeit seems like you are able to do that!) Anyway - whatever the hassles, happy to help.

Also - to anyone thinking of coming... I understand there are experienced growers like Michael Simonetto coming to this sale day too. Why is that important. Well, along with starter-stock from people like myself - there will be more advanced stock, sometimes harder to find stock and simply, better bonsai and per-bonsai stock from a range of experienced enthusiasts. There are also a range of potters (or potterers too.

So plenty to offer everyone - wherever you sit in the experience spectrum. And a small display of trees out from too.

Cheers,

Mark

Will there be bank payment facilities or is it cash only

I certainly take card payments, Gregoryg. I have seen a number of other vendors do too. I think most of the vendors who sell regularly take cards.
