Blog Post of the Day

Well, it’s actually from yesterday, but as I didn’t post yesterday!!!

Why be taught how to do bonsai?

A very interesting post from Mr Snart from Willowbog Bonsai. You see, he can come up with the odd nugget now and again 😉

Did Anyone Even Notice?

Yesterday was the first day since November that I haven’t posted on my blog. I was starting to feel like I was being controlled by OCD [Osessive Compulsive Disorder] I must admit that last night, when I returned from our Club meeting, I felt drawn to the computer to add a post 🙂

Blogging really is an addiction albeit a positive one. I was surprised at just how many hits I still got on the blog without even posting. I have learned that tagging is a massive part of blogging, getting all those bonsai related words out there for the search engines to find.

You may have to put up with a few more quiet days from me on here. It’s looking like shoulder surgery for me within the next few weeks. This will put a major cramp on my keyboard work for a while and even my photography. I feel it’s going to be a long Summer. At least I can still water trees one handed!

PS: Never find your planned surgery on Youtube, BIG MISTAKE!!

Bonsai Unearthed Blog

I’m always looking for new, quality Bonsai blogs to follow. Bonsai Unearthed is a new blog just started by Owen Reich. When I say new, it started on 22nd May and I only found it today 🙂 Owen has been kind enough to leave constructive comments here on my blog and even let me use some of his wonderful photos from Japan.

This is a link to his fist post, and if this is anything to go by, we are in for a treat. and I don’t just say that because I got a mention 😉

Bonsai Unearthed

Make sure you check out his other newer posts as well. I have been rather presumptuous and have added him to my bonsai friends links on my side bar. Bonsai is not just about wee trees, it’s about friendship, for me at any rate.

This one does it for me due to it’s authors complete honesty and entertainment value 🙂 That and the fact that he’ll be cutting lumps out of my trees in October 🙂

Blog Post of the Day

This one is a belter! Once you get the Google Chrome  translate  going, sit back and read a very well structured post from El Tim [The Team] on what to look for and what to watch out for when buying yamadori. It’s a long post and you’ll maybe want to skip the funnies at the start but stick with it.
