I got it from Bonsai Outlet - dragged it to bonsai open day at Green Witch to get advice on a plan for it going forward, learned a lot on how to deal with it vs. a regular JBP.

I went last Saturday morning. How do you pronounce the instructors name? Kazie? I'm embarrassed to ask him a fifth time after I called him Fonzie.
Kate's chicken walked in and said hello while I was working.

Do you run an RO or rain water system being in New Mexico? Or is the water quality good as is?

Following the advice to repot Princess Persimmons in August and knowing that we will get a break from high temperatures starting tonight for the next week, AND lots of rain for the next few days....These were given to me as seedlings (root cuttings?) in 3 inch pots last September but by March needed a repot. I up-potted them then without working the roots. They've grown rapidly since then in pond baskets with pumice/coco coir.
Today, I worked the roots out to as flat a plane as possible and potted them into shallow 8" terra cotta pots. New mix is pumice: coco coir: akadama about 1:1:1.
In addition, one of the pond baskets had 5 sprouts about 10" tall coming up out of the roots. I salvaged 4 of those and potted them in the same mix in 3" pots.
Also, repotted a Japanese Snowbell (Styrax japonica ) that a friend gave me in May. It too was so pot bound that immediate action was needed!

I am ashamed to say I don't know for certain - I've heard Gazi and Razi and can't tell if one is a proper name and the other is a nickname or what. I just bring in a wee tree and look hopeless and he very kindly offers advice. >_>;; I've never met the chicken, though! It's usually Mila or the orange kitty whose name I can't recall.
For the tax-man, a wee friend I found on my elm:

LOL at looking hopeless, I look clueless as a default. Razi! That's what he said, nice, thanks. Is Mila the black cat? She sat in my lap for about 10 minutes insisting on attention/petting & I obliged.
Long story short. I repaired a broken branch today.

I haven't done too much in the last couple of weeks. I have been house hunting to finally get a place of my own and not feel bad about planting things in the ground.
I gave my plants a good watering today, although I do need to give them some fertilizer. Pictured is my bench and a seedling tray with a whole Lotta seedlings I'll be working on next year. Zelkova and Katsura (common name) to name a couple.
Gotta zoom off to work now and catch up what's been happening on Bnut lately while "working"

Opened my mail to find a tree I've worked on staring back at me from the cover of the ABS journal.
I said outloud "Hey, I know you!"
