    A Christmas tree

    So, in light of recent holiday's I've considered buying a pine and creating a Christmas tree with it. I realize that a Christmas tree is normally a young tree and therefore will not fit the bonsai profile but I think it would be a neat thing to have around to bring indoors and decorate for a...

    My introduction thread

    This was an odd year in our vegetable garden. I treated the soil as usual with compost, gypsum, and other modifiers. Then I planted the rows as the plan called for but we had a few surprises. First, my beans, carrots, and lettuce never came in. It was the first time in this yard with all...
