This quote almost shouted at me this morning! A beautiful reminder that the past has gone and that I should be concentrating on the future… (now that it looks as though I might actually have one!)

My favourite Rhododendron, in full bloom… Before I could decide what to do yesterday, the lure of the welcome sunshine and my forlorn, neglected bonsai had me in my gardening clothes and outside before I had a chance to argue.

Stewartia summer pruning Brian VFStewartia July 31, 2021 1 Minute Stewartia is a hearty grower, and this one has been trimmed back several times already this season. However, simply pruning around the profile seems to create some coarse whorls and shoots that will need to be removed later anyway. So this time (mid-July) I went…
