You know you've arrived at "crazy".......

[Joe Dupre']

Yes, you know you've arrived at "crazy" when you're on your hands and knees in the bonsai planting bed looking for TINY buds with a jeweler's loupe.

Yep, looking at all the stuff I collected in the last few weeks to see if they were going to make it. We still have a little warming to do , but about 90% of my collections are showing signs of buds. Spring is a GRAND time!

Nothin' like crawling around inside a giant juniper looking for potential!!! Welcome to crazy indeed!!!

 

[_#1_]

People know you're crazy when you knock on their doors and ask if you could take their trees. They give you that look.

I just had a bad plumbing leak in my house this week. First ever property insurance claim in 21 years. The adjuster came over and was looking at all the water damage, and I took her into the back yard to show her the exterior damage and her first comment: "Wow! Nice bonsai trees!"

She is the first person in 21 years I've had in my back yard that actually knew what a bonsai tree was (except of course my bonsai study group)

And the crazy thing is... we both stopped everything we were doing to talk bonsai

Guessing it didn't hurt your claim in the least....

The other day, I looked into my yard and exclaimed, "Gosh! So many! How did I end up with so many trees!" I ended up creating group plantings, added to group plantings, approach grafting, and deciding to sell some things.

The only thing growing here are copious amounts of snot-cicles... -41 C... -45c with the wind chill... can't be more than a 3-4 kmh wind; imagine if it was gusting at 50 kms

So what you're saying is spring is around the corner!

Currently we're caked in ice thanks to 20mm of freezing rain.

I always thought you would know that you've officially arrived at crazy, because you'd be greeted by @sorce and be given the keys to crazytown.....maybe a parade in your honor too....lol

 

[Starfox]

Yes, you know you've arrived at "crazy" when

..... you order a 30 litre bag of kitty litter and you don't own a cat.

 

[barrosinc]

.... when your wife says: next plant that you bring home gets thrown in the trash.

.... when your wife says: next plant that you bring home gets thrown in the trash.

When your wife gives up and realizes resistance is futile.... and gets a few trees of her own.

That you end up watering.

 

[Underdog]

When you hide the 3 new pots UPS dropped off in the basement.

 

[mattspinniken]

When you bring inside pruned off branches to try new wiring technique that you learned on a internet bonsai forum.

 

[Random User]

... when the majority of the people on this web site L O V E what you do!...

5yr old grandson last summer says "Seriously PaPaw, you really need more trees?"
Little does he know I'm hoping he or his siblings take over them one day.
