Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Only bad thing about being gone on vacation for 2 weeks is that the weeds take over the garden. Spent the past 3 days pulling weeds and working on the bonsai garden literally 6-8hrs each day. Finally all back in shape with weeds all gone and shrubs all trimmed and shaped. Also found a pair of large pots at a yard sale last month and didn't know what to do with them. So today I cleaned them up and flipped the bottom one mounting the top one to the flipped one making a huge vase shape. Then sank some blocks into the ground for a platform and replanted my 5 tree spruce bonsai forest into it. Next spring there are plans to dig about a 600-700g pond further back since the Koi are now closing in on a foot long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Stunning, Steve. Truly stunning! I absolutely love the Bonsai. They are epitome of dedication and husbandry. I saw that space during the dry, cold weather of late Winter ... and I have a hard time remembering that actual space. It looks like a completely different yard. Beautiful.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Mike I was ashamed to have you see the garden when you where here. Then again, that was what January? It's like night & day now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 I really like the koi. Neat fish. I had some in my little pond by my sidewalk and a snake came and ate them all. The snake tried to bit me and that was the end of the snake. Anyway, I like the personality of koi and the tranquility they bring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
