Lovely place. Good luck on heading back to work too. Life moves fast, good to see you enjoying the new space and relationship to the fullest.
Al, why did you trim the branches while having the air layer going? Would more leaves will help with the rooting? These will be some crazy sumo JM in the near future.Night time at the Bunker. I am especially proud of the ceiling of the Tokonoma. I wanted to do something never seen much outside of Japan or national parks.

So....what going on now...well taking multiple layers off a large maple in the front yard. All the trees are from the pollarded ends of the limbs and each is about 35 years old. The trees are all about 10 inches across at the layer and all less than a foot tall....true Sumo's.

Love the setup. Best of luck with your new partner. The tokonoma looks very nice as do your trees.Well...last girlfriend after my Wife died, had a heart attack during Covid and died too. Only 58 years old. Back to online dating, found the love of my life. We meshed from day one and never looked back. We got together in Sept of 2020, and did the dating thing during covid. Not an easy thing to do with a mask on..
By the second week in Dec, I told her I had to go home one Sunday early to water. She said why dont you put your trees here so you dont have to go. I explained to her that that was not an easy thing like pack up trees move them across town, spend the weekend here and then move them all back. She said, " no silly, move your trees here and leave them". I cocked my head and said do you understand what that means? It means that they would be here "permanently"...she said "I know" Hmmm...Al is wondering what he did right. I never had a person latch on so hard so fast. I told her that I would need quite a lot of room, would have to build benches, and all that. She said you have the whole back of the property to do what ever you want. She is on an acre. I had half an acre to do what ever I wanted.
So I made a plan, started doing ground work and built benches. Put in underground water on timers, lots of electricity, full flood lights for evening viewing, water falls, landscaping, the works.

full shadeHello,
The garden looks great. I was recently shoping for triangle sun shades with 50% or less filter but I couldn't find the right size and shape that wasn't full shade.
Are these full shade sails or filtered? If they are filtered, could you share where you purchased it?
Thank you
