Spectacular!! I cannot imagine how many hours a day you must put in just to keep things watered, fed, and weed free.
Very, very impressive! Do you manage your garden by yourself?

Beautiful trees indeed! Did you wash the JBP with lime sulfur? Maybe it's just the lighting.

Maybe two hours everyday and some of my students helps me weed my shohin trees and in return teach them how to graft... Yes, I do maintain my own garden !!! Check out my front yard..
