My latest Misadventure!

5/12/13
Let me tell a little about yesterday's almost misadventure! As many of you know there are parts of my property that have literally become a jungle ~ around my pond being one of those places. Last month I burned around most of the pond & it helped, but I still had limbs and briars to attack so that was yesterday's PROJECT! I started small I was only going to clear down to the apple tree (mid section, south side), that went so well that I decided to just take a look at the OTHER part of the south side.  Big Mistake!!!

Once I was on the other side I couldn't back up because of the wagon attached to the back of the lawnmower!  The only way to move forward was to cut and chop my way out!  Three hours later my task was complete, but not without scratches & sore muscles!  Lesson learned next time I decide to inspect something scout it on foot first before I barrel through with a machine! *~*

Bonsai

My Bonsai experience has just begun.  I began work on the first plant last week, it is a plant that I purchased last year for just this purpose and neglected to do anything with it until now. May I present my small leaved holly!
I've trimmed the roots and the trunk now it's time to let it become comfortable with these changes before I do any additional work! 
Next item on the agenda is this beautiful Juniper.  The pot in front of it is the one I'll use for this project! 
Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted!
