Well, it's beginning to rain, enough to wet the dry clay, but
not run off.

If all goes as it should, 1 day rain, 3 days sun, later 3 days rain,
1 day sun, then rain as it wishes.
Living on a hill side, no fear of floods or mosquitoes.
Plus, the breezes stay, so no real fear of high humid days.
Temperature drops to high 80 s until Christmas.

Shifting to trimming and slower fertiliser mode.

You know since we don't grow to sell, and train the trees in simpler
shapes. Bonsai remains relaxing.
Never had to spray for anything and can make practically anything
the hobby needs.
Always made enough time to tend to the children.
Relaxing and enjoyable.

Nic, K's nephew, has learnt to grow roma tomaties the same way.
No pesticides and easy reaxing care.
He is now after the egg plant.

So as I wax with contentment, I say -

" We grow our Bonsai for Beauty, not produce or lumber "

" Beauty is truth revealed "

Great Day
Anthony ------- sipping a cup of 90 deg.c White Tea and watching the drops
of water on the Bonsai in the early morning sun.
Best to ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoying the fluid diamonds on leaves can keep me for hours or at least until they evaporate and disappear.
Really love this!

Get yourself a lonicera (honeysuckle) if you can. I don’t know why but they hold water droplets like jewels, super cool.8266C79D-68A1-4C53-B76D-6DA7514C4F9D.jpeg
