Soooo glad you’re back! Been missed. Gardening and bonsai is so good for the soul and keeps the mind in creativity and wonder 🩷

[@PumpkinBecki]

Oh Judy, thank you so much xx I can't tell you how much that means to me xx

Wow, that's awesome work on the roots Becky, so sorry to hear about your father, life sure has ups and downs.

[@PumpkinBecki]

You've inspired me to be a bit braver with my root work Nigel xx Thank you so much, you are the sweetest soul xx

[@mhylton]

That's an interesting way of wiring the tree into the pot.

[@PumpkinBecki]

It's an alternative 😊 And as the tree will be protected from wind and accidental knocks by being in the greenhouse, it should be enough 😊xx

Hi Rebecca, So sorry to hear about your dad. Nice repotting job. For lava rock, first time I got some big rocks, I took a sledge hammer to them and seived out the dust. Nowadays I can now get 5-6mm size here, but maybe you could try the sledgehammer and seive to get the size you need??

[@PumpkinBecki]

Thank you Dave, you've been so kind xx Ah, good idea with lava crushing, thank you 😊 xx

[@nickrobson2753]

Could you not put the cactus mix in water & the bark would float off?

[@PumpkinBecki]

Now there's a good idea Nick, thank you 😊 And way less dusty than trying to sift it out xx

[@kiwibonsai2062]

Nice little tree , tools not so nice lol , put some freaking oil on them and your poor wee knuckles might stop creaking lol

[@PumpkinBecki]

🤣🤣🤣 It's all very true 🤣🤣🤣
