Mame Repot #4 Ivy

 

 

This one has gone back into the same pot. Temporary wire there to hold for a week or too. I have a blackbird who would just love to trail this one out of the pot!

Maybe a bit big for mame though 😦

Back on the Benches

Have got some of my trees back out on the benches. They have been tucked away here and there around the garden but it was time to enjoy the view again 🙂 Still a few spaces to be filled.

Scots Pine Prep

This is one of the pines collected from a bog two years ago. It has recovered well but now’s the time to remove a few branches that won’t be needed in any final design. I also needed to chase back the foliage so that the tree back buds into more suitable areas over the next few years. Once I have this I can then start to think about styling the tree.

This was the tree being collected

and now before cut back.

I missed the peak by a few days, but not too bad ever when it’s past its best.
