Hey there guys and gals.

Just a little update to show that I'm sill around. LoL

We are halfway into winter (if you can call it that) so growth is a bit of a NO NO. Here and there some growth is happening but not enough to whip out the tools and start trimming. ( Oh how my hands are itching to trim and cut and repot).

The Olive Tree will have to be repotted in the season, cause the soil is spent. I got a nice biggish square pot for it so long cause I haven found a suitable pot for it (to my standards) and the plastic tub its in now is breaking apart. I haven't seen how the roots formed at all seeing that I took on this big project in my 1st year of bonsai so I might have to do some cutting down there. I know for a fact that there is 3 large roots that I knew was gonna be a problem the day I was gonna repot.

Reason for not cutting it off there and then ??? I didn't own a saw. Had a spade, did lots of damage. Like I said. 1st year of bonsai.

So hopefully there is a nice surprise waiting for me.
