I recently finished my finals and will have a short break before beginning my next term. With time on my hands I've been doing as much bonsai work as I can. Previously all my trees were just sitting on a cement curb. I made a makeshift "bench" with leftover wood from a growbox and concrete bricks. By summer I intend to build a more permanent fixture with multiple decks. Last year I tried to get an automatic watering system going but it broke. I fixed it up today and used a combination of spot spitters and small disc drippers. I'm hoping it works this time around--I was fortunate enough to have other people help me with watering.
Compared to last season I probably have 3 times as many trees now. Most of them are very healthy and significantly better compared to when I first started. I transplanted 2 trees in the ground this year--a ror trident maple and a washington hawthorn. After they bulk up for a several years I'll dig em out and begin refinement. I probably shouldn't have buried the ror so deep as the previously exposed roots may start rooting themselves but I can check it periodically. Spring has been very enjoyable and I'm content to be able to have so many trees. Anyhow some pictures:
