Jeez I think I healed an ulcer watching this, I'm so zen :) I actually have pieris in a pot somewhere, might need to get the snips out and give it a haircut. Lovely job

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

You are brilliant and amazing. So beautiful, Ms. Japonica. May she live forever in her glory.

[@patdelaney191]

Cats don't move so well as dogs, but as you love spud as much as you do and she obviously loves being with you, then I'm sure she will be just as happy and settled as she is now. Best wishes to you all ❤

Hi Spud has settled well into the new house The garden is starting to take shape Thanks for the lovely comments Have a great week 🌳🌳🌳🌳🤗🤗🤗🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@northerngail0385]

Amazining job that you did on the Japonica. You took it from looking like a shrub in need of pruning to a lovely ethereal miniature tree. Sorry to hear about the sale falling through. Can't imagine why anyone would not want to live in that beautiful garden you created.

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Thanks for the message & support, so glad you enjoyed the little Tree vlog 🌳 As for the house buyer he was looking to let the house out as a holiday let but as the holiday market has tuck a down turn , it’s quite understandable, But on a good note we have lots of interest & viewing booked in this weekend so fingers crossed 🤞 have a great week & all the best 🌱 Chip

[@jlanvers]

Sorry to hear about the sale. You and Spud are certainly making the most of it. The new garden will be a bonsai sanctuary!

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Hi Jlanvers & thank you but not to worry as these things happen & you’ve just got to make the most & look on the positives 🤠 the house is now back on the market & we have a lot of interest & viewing booked in , so I’m sure we’ll be on are way before you know, thanks for your support & have a wonderful week , all the best 🌱 Chip

[@evelyngriggs8356]

Chip , That topiary was really zen! Is this skill “cut it and see…” or have you been trained in this beautiful art? Best wishes,Evie.
