7 years since joining Bnut

[amcoffeegirl]

Looking back on my journey- I joined bnut Oct 22,2011. In 7 years I have leaned a lot. I have 17 trees and about 60 pots currently. I am happy I decided to write my first post that day.
I have made many good friends along the way and I set some good habits for future years.
It all started with one $12 mail order ficus
When I started the ideal image in my head was about 10-14 inch trees. Now I'm at 6-12 as an ideal size. That seems to be what I enjoy the most.

Happy 7th Anniversary!!! So glad you joined as well...myself a little later. It's interesting seeing our eyes fine tune what we once thought ideal. You have some fine pieces my friend.

Congrats and happy 7th!! Glad your journey here has been a good one and rewarding. It is also my 7th here. When I joined, several talented and experienced members like BFV, Vance, Adair, Dav4, Smoke, October, Rockm and few others really inspired me with their superb work and detailed threads. I owe this forum and its members a whole lot!

Happy Anniversary! I wonder what percentage of people who join, are still posting 7 years later. Maybe 1 out of 100? 1000?
