Went to the swamp today. Lost my root slayer in the swamp water!!!
I will come back with a magnet but I have little hope.

I also had some issues with a swamp today

Those are good dinner fare.
Here come the biggest Coonass mystery
“How come when it is BBQ gator is meat but when fried gator is fish?”

And the kicker:
The archbishop of New Orleans officially declared gator as seafood so cajuns are allowed to eat gator during Lent.

If gator is seafood then why does it taste and chew like chicken?

Chicken of the swamp?

Technically not 100% bonsai related, but what I put on the shelf makes it bonsaish. Put up some new shelves and Japanese prints I found in a thrift store.





Quality assessor approved!

I was rassling a BC and the shovel was laid down. I thought to myself: “Let’s get the BC and come back for the shovel later. I should have remembered that the swamp sometimes just swallows things and will not give it back.

I came back to the spot and could not find the shovel.

Found it!!!!
In 24 hrs, the shovel sank 6" under the mud. A few more days and I would never find it.
Picture tax will be satisfied later

Did you use the magnet to find it or just by feeling around?

I use the magnet and felt a little pull. I felt around with my boots and didn't find the shovel. Then I use my hand and dug under the magnet to find the shovel blade 6" under the mud. The magnet was not strong enough to pull it out. It just felt a little heavier at that spot.

Repotted my Brazilian Raintree after 3 years in the same pot into a thinner, cream/white pot. I think the original was too thick and the new color matches with the peeled bark

Before (bonus pup):

After:

Found an acorn sprouting under the root base of a trident maple

Little landscape planting with the hosta getting ready to flower after azaleas just finished

 

[WaywardSol]

Received two packages from different growers. A shimpaku juniper and the five teeny lil trident maple seedlings. Shimpaku just got set out, not large but quite happy. The little seedlings were both not potted and in muck so out of the muck they were in and into pots. Tops were a smidge wilted from shipping but the roots on all but one looked pretty good for their size. Why such large pots? It's what I had handy lol.

The shovel ever so slowly sank into the soft mud. The whole thing was under the surface. I felt around and detected nothing. When I pushed my hand into the mud I felt the blade and was able to grab the edge and pulled it out.
