Northern Hemisphere Superiority Complex...
Actually "inferiority complex"
seems more appropriate Already the dread is setting in as the cold and wet now will soon be towards foot upon foot of the white stuff, blizzards, hail, freezing rain, 45+mph average winds (60-70+ at times) and as the lake freezes sub-zero temps wondering down from Canada.

Is it cold in winter in Aus.? (30Deg.F and colder)

HAHA yaya...i know. just need to get all my facts in line...which way does the water spin in the toilet? (joking)...one question, how does santa ride a sleigh without snow? is he different than the North american santa?

while we are on "Northern Hemisphere Superiority Complex." DFINITLYDISTRUBD, Aus uses metric, like almost all places....Freezing is 0

The Winter wheat has sprouted and today I harvested my gourds. Reading up a bit, (source)I followed directions from an extension service and washed the gourds with mild disinfectant soap, rinsed them, dried them, and now have them drying in a dark well-ventilated spot.

Re: What's Growing In Your Garden? Horticultural Science

I started Japanese Maple Bonzai
We'll see how it turns out..

I think I have a good grasp on how the tree likes to be handled.

I started a small little bit

Awesome! They're looking good!
You've got a stalk of holly there as well?

On a side note, my roomate bought a Jap maple not much bigger than your own (+2-3yr) for $175 from the nursery. It's lucrative business it seems!

I dug up the Baby seedlings from a Jap Maple in my yard. (as opposed to mowing over them)
Put 'em in little containers..

as soon as winter sets in I'll prune them back accordingly..
Its funny how they're all different but from the same tree.

Yeah, baby Holly too..
Holly's don't like being in containers. It will be a challenge. I've failed several times trying to tame a Holly. I have 1 medium sized deck tree I succeeded with.

I have a few Medium sized/several year old Japs that I'm grooming already.
Porch and deck container trees.

This batch will be all Bonzai however.

I thank Turtle for helping teach me about Bonzai many years back!
Turtle was quite the accomplished Bonzai Guy.


Of course I already had a working knowledge.. But you should have seen Turt's back yard.

I was a little out of control there.

Maybe we should combine your working knowledge & my out-of-contollness and start collecting, reproducing, and distributing native Pacific Northwest plants.

So I did get some Indian corn after all, and after drying I'm going to set the best ears aside for next year's seed and the rest I plan to pound up in my mortar & pestle and make some corn meal.

Nice corn Turtle...

Unfortunately for me, thats how it ends up coming out the other end in the morning too.

The squirrells got all my corn this year, the buggers; so I hope it was GMO seed
