Well, now the spring is upon us, it's time to get down to sorting out my bonsai. We've recently moved and I've moved a large garden of bonsai into a postage stamp, still, shouldn't moan about that, I've still probably got more than the inhabitants of Tokyo, and they manage.

I've got about 80 Japanese Black Pine seedlings, I'll plant them out the front to develop, that will give me a bit more room in the back for the other trees.
I don't know why more people don't have a go at bonsai, it's relaxing, skilled, and a constantly evolving creative art form. I think that people believe it's difficult, or you have to get special trees, or that it takes a long time, none of that is true, a garden centre tree in a 1-litre pot can take as little as 3 years to have a fine display in a bonsai container.
