Another not so great picture, but here is the untouched azaela specimin. I want to let this one grow a little bit more before I decide on the shape. It also needs to be planted in a bonsai pot. 

Here is a picture of my juniperus procumbens. I know it's not the best picture, but is shows the general shape that the tree is taking. I'm going for the windswept look. The bottom-most branch will most likely be made into a jin. 

Gardener's supply

I just ordered from Gardeners supply. I ordered the deeproot seed starting kit, the 40 cell tray, germinating mix, and this cool new trowel. My package should get here in about a week, hopefully less since the company is in Vermont.

Next on the list, I have to order from seeds of change and burpee, but I am nowhere near ready to put those orders together. I also need to order some bonsai supply as well because the only nursery in town is very expensive and doesn't really have a great selection.

Bonsai shopping

I went to the nursery today and bought some bonsai supply. I think it's time I try my luck at bonsai since I've been interested in it for a long time and I love being artistic. I already did a complete butchering job on my juniperus procumbens, maybe I should have taken a before and after picture. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

New seed starting kit

I'm really excited about this new seed starting kit. Most of the ones available say they are reusable, but are made from a flimsy plastic that always seems to break, making it unusable from one season to the next. This one is more sturdy and can even be washed in the dishwasher.
