Trying to figure out one of my E Hemlock woes. Appreciate and look and suggestions.

More work on the indoor grow station. I rigged up a little contraption that allows me to adjust the angle of the top two lights, so they don't shine in my eyes while I'm in bed. It's two boards connected at the back with some door hinges and slot with a bolt that runs through it and a thumb nut. I twist the nut to raise/lower the bottom board and change the angle.

A client couldn’t find a slab big enough for his display in an upcoming show, so I faked one. Two boards glued together and carved. I’m hoping once it’s dyed and finished it will be passable.
Update: dyed it. Not too bad.

Made a kokedama at work.
Our night guy's been trying to give away a spider plant baby for about 4 months now.
It's been sitting in water in a coffee mug on the table in the lunch room with a sign "free to a good home"... The sign's got all crinkled from watering and dirty.
It finally annoyed me enough to do something about it...

Even if I'm not sure on the final design for the half dozen or so of these horizontalis variegated junipers I have, I can still do some seasonal work by identifying the branches that are least suitable or likely to contribute (alive, anyway) to the end goal.
That's a long way of saying I jinned back a couple of bigger branches.

I have some Byrum caespitucium on the far right of my pretty moss collection and some argenteum on my trees.
The rest of the moss storage
It freaks some of the other old timers out when they see moss on my JBP.
I've been adding it between the stone pavers in front of my shed too. Probably my favorite.

Nice! If I could grow nothing else for the rest of my life, it would be moss.
This tray might be argenteum, or something native to this area. Most likely, I've got a mix. I have some clumps that are more of a sage-gray, almost white color, even when wet.
These byrum species are the only ones that I've gotten to grow reliably in Denver. I have some that grows between pavers that I've been slowly harvesting. It almost completely desiccates, which is handy when we have humidity in the single digits and no rain for weeks at a time. I've got a moss bed with a water feature here and some young bristlecones. This time of year, it needs to be misted 4x a day (on a timer), and I water a bit more when the soil gets really dry. That's not even the worst of it, though; it's the dry winters when the mister is off. I need to be better about winter watering. I've had about half the moss in this bed die back over the past couple of years. It looks sparse now but there are a lot of pores starting to fill back in. That's one of the reasons I'm growing some in trays, to replenish this bed. The other reason is to put on trees, of course.
There's a kind of black moss that grows in the desert areas around here that I want to try propagating, but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet.

Kokedame #2 - lemon button fern in a Russian olive bowl I turned on the lathe.

Lots of work this afternoon after our club meeting this morning.
A rebar wired to the pot as an anchor for a guy wire to move a branch s.l.o.w.l.y downward on my 25 year od boxwood "Morris' Dwarf".
A necessary emergency repot of my Brazilian Rain Tree which has grown huge this summer and then suffered during vacation last week when the sprinkler wasn't enough water. It was completely root bound.
And repotted the pomegranate 'Nana' since the ground layer worked.

Juvenile tree frogs keep congregating around the porch lights at night and feast on the bugs. Love these little guys.
Found this fence lizard sun bathing in one of my pine yamadori a couple days ago. Looks to be regrowing a tail.

Studied trees, rode my bike, camped in 93% humidity with no wind, got screamed at by cicadas and frogs. Starting to understand why people in Florida are so dang insane.
Found some wild plums and ripe mayapples!
