This year I will undertake a Japanese themed show garden at a local garden festival. We did a launch today and did a radio interview.

sunday morning larch
It was a quiet wet morning in the garden centre today so I had a go at this larch which I had intended working on yesterday.
The result is not very exciting, but I couldn’t find anything else in the tree this morning…
more pines
Collected another few pines but I think it may be a bit early for them, we’ll see..
Potted them up in grit with a bit of sphagnum on top, plus a little bit of mycorizzha in each too.
Pine Collecting, new place
I found a new place to collect some pines last weekend. The trees are small, but all have very aged bark. The soil is a bit rocky but I managed to collect some without too much trouble.
more trees
Some nice trees from a day out in South Galway. I’ve lost some of the names.
sorbus
This small sorbus has been sitting around for a while with no obvious (to me) direction. So a repot today, change of angle, sit in a prominent place and maybe a plan will present itself to me over the winter.
