My Tamarack forest gets it's landscape, inspired by, @bonsaibythesea . James adventures in the shale pits got me in gear for this build, his two landscapes that fit together look very nice. Thanks to Jay, from Blue Jay Bonsai, for mentioning that channel to me. I add moss and stones to make a river through my forest. A little fun thing in here for Tom, from Grow and Clip Bonsai for Seniors. Hop...

    For your climate, try incorporating sand into the mix. It will warm up the soil for you so that the cucumbers grow. Your little tub of cutting mini's are holding up nicely for you.

      @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 I think it was just too cold at the beginning of the season. They grew out nice once we got some good heat, 78F plus, and the night temperatures stayed above 50F/10C. First time in probably 4 years that we have nice temperatures! I didn't start them in the house this year either. I started them in the trailer.

    Looks like you are baking a cake, Marysol. Have you tried to make Lentil flatbread? 1 cup of the orange red looking lentils. Put them in 2 cups of water for 3 hours to soak. Take the soaking water and lentils after 3 hours and place in a blender and blend to a nice smooth mixture. Warm up a non stick pan. No oil or butter, will not work. Pour some in the hot pan and just move the pan around for a nice round flat bread and flip once the top bubbles some and you have bread. Just a thought.
