Repotting Bonsai today!

Oy, spent 5 or 6 hours today repotting bonsai trees and a few of the big pots in the greenhouse.  Got two big pots of potatoes, garlic, and spinach planted, and a couple planted with garlic and a few overwintered flowers (calendula and alysum) that I tossed some cilantro in.  

Then I tackled an ugly Italian Stone Pine that just went back into a plastic training pot.  Also repotted a handful of little crab apples, at least thats what I THINK they are.  They're something that grows wild around here, one came from a field a few years ago and its turning into an interesting little clump.  The others started out as saplings I dug at the art center a few years back, they've got some potential.  I also repotted a bunch of little Japanese maples and a little cherry, some of them went into seconds, others back into plastic, but they're all just about to pop.  The two tridents I just did a quick clean up repot, scraped the top inch and the bottom inch off and added new soil to the top n bottom.  Those are both in plastic cans, so the major part of the roots were undisturbed.  THEY (stinking things!) are already leafed out!

NEXT up, a bunch more!  I really need to cut back...  I've still got some pines and junipers I need to work on, then some redwoods.  I'll put off the giant redwood til later this spring, maybe this summer, as it has an airlayer on it that needs to be cut off.  Its FINALLY starting to grow some roots, YYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY

    Clay has always fascinated me, its many colors and textures, the shapes you can create using it, even the feel of it squishing in my hand. Even after years of playing in the mud I find myself exploring new ideas and I hope my work shows this.
