Your greenhouse is an amazing find. Your trees have a great place to grow in. A lot of work went into getting the greenhouse up and going, but, as everyone can see it was well worth the work. Super video!!!
T think things are looking up and it seems to get sunnier day by day ,apart from these cold nights,and that's a good feeling I should say is it not? And wow,that is a great and very practical car. It's gonna be a great day! Thanks for sharing again.
Every time there is a new video from you, it feels to me like a good friend is visiting me. I hope I get many more years of visits from you. A thousand thanks for your regular soul massage!
Thanks for the shoutout Nigel! Fabulous Ficus Friday indeed! For some reason I am drawn to the Blue Ash. I can’t figure out why, but I feel like it’s calling out to me… 🤣🐦💙
Your green babies, and they are many, are looking really healthy. You have a splendid homestead. There is much to do everywhere including starting up the old red beauty. I do appreciate always your report on the weather and many little bits of this and that. Coldest spring on record on the W.Coast. If only we could stay above 10 degrees. I lost my protected young Royal Oak which I found last spring along the road. I was so excited and it was still attached to the shell. It had thrived right on the gravel. Alas, I lost it this past February. Outdoors it dropped to 8 below with a bad wind. Great video Nigel, thanks for being there.
Busy but good day for you! The air pot with the flange from J could be used as a self-watering pot in a bucket. Just add a thread or stripe of cloth that pulls up the water from the bucket. Might be useful for highly water consuming trees in development. Squirrels never dig up oaks out of my pots. They like hazelnuts and walnuts in my area.
My goodness, I always love seeing that truck! Yesterday, I finally saw the video where they first stripped it down to cab on frame. Maybe one day, I'll find one.
The red bud branches are zig zag when young. I have been trying to get one growing for years. Can't get one to over winter twice in a pot. Fingers crossed for your new tree.
Very excited to see you do work on the Eastern Redbud! I've just gotten one to survive being collected after the one I collected last year died over winter. I'm very excited to see how they can turn out as bonsai
20.35 - I think few shelf along the wall of the poly house for seeds tray will be handy as well as will save some space for other trees. It's very satisfying to see the truck is in excellent shape. Can't wait to see the restoration of the Porsche.
Eastern redbud will be an interesting tree, Im developing a California native western redbud here, a similar tree but smaller than the eastern and more drought tolerant
Awesome! The birds started singing like crazy here a couple days ago. night temperatures should stay above zero for a while. Even some high of 10-11C temperatures in the daytime forecast this coming week!!! Feels good to have rain instead of snow... The greenhouses are looking good! Relief to start getting trees outside!
I thought of you just a little while ago. I was watching Lyn on Desert Plants of Avalon. She was treating one of her cacti for scale. Instead of scraping them off, she just got a little brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol and wiped them off very easily. The shells on scale insects are actually made of a kind of wax. Alcohol quickly dissolves the wax and kills the insects. Since the alcohol evaporates in seconds, there is no residual effect. Another viewer said that he had got the same results using ethyl alcohol. Seems much more efficient than physically scraping them off. She then dusted the plant with diatomaceous earth and plans to wash that off after a few days. Knowing how many different species of trees you grow, I would test on a few leaves at the back to make sure the alcohol doesn't harm them, but, in my experience, isopropyl is safe on most species as long as you don't literally drench the plant with the stuff. Knowing how you feel about spiders, though, I would skip the diatomaceous earth. It would be harder on the spiders than on the scale. Just wash with soapy water to drown the scale larvae.
Hi Nigel! I am a fan from Québec. It's very fun to watch you working on your trees. I learn a lot! The small bumps on your maple leaves are probably due to a small mite called Vasates quadripedes in case you were wondering.
When I retired I moved to Medellin, Colombia. It is called the City of Eternal Spring and that is very true. Well during April and May we have rain almost daily at night, but my bonsai do not complain.
All is looking well in the bonsai zone nigel, the truck does sound like a beast your a fortunate man to own that. Are you still involved with the community garden?
In a different video he responded to this very comment, I don't remember exactly what he said, but roughly it was that he has stepped away because the people that were running it were making decisions that he did not agree with
I am excited to see what you do with your Eastern redbud. I've thought about collecting one for bonsai but haven't found much information on turning one into a bonsai.
The redbuds HATE HATE HATE having their roots touched. We grow them at our nursery I work at and it's a coin toss with survival if we dig them up. We call them deadbuds. They are pretty but hate to be moved. Good luck with it! I've tried a few seedlings and have killed them trying to get them into a pot.
Hi Nigel, I been watching you for some years your bonsia are amazing, I so envy all the sun you have I live in northern cal in a apartment on the north side so it's very shady except for a small corner where I have a pot with some succulent, however we do have lots of squirrels that keep planting live oaks and walnuts in my planter so I have this little seedlings now and then popping up , at what time can I plant them as a little bonsis plant and should I cut the walnut or acorn off. Thank you
Yeah, with oaks I often have a hard time identifying them around me. There’s just so many variations. I’m growing a swamp white oak, but the leaves almost look like very large english oak leaves. At least they did last year. I’m curious as to what I get this year as they are just budding out. This is only year two.
Hey Nigel, great video again! I am just posting this comment a second time because the first time round I think I got marked as spam. I hope it goes through this time! I've been watching your videos for few years, and I really like them. I have three large rectangular grow lights that I'm looking to get rid of, and I'm wondering whether you'd like to have them. I got them for a plant sale fundraiser for a club that unfortunately didn't go off. They're brand new and have been sitting around for a year and a half, and I have no use for them. Because I really appreciate your videos, I am happy to donate them :) You mentioned that you're looking to install grow lights in your plant room, so I'd like to help out. Please let me know!
Hello James, that sounds really good, I'll be needing lights for the plant room for next winter!!! I can't wait to get started on the plant room again!! Can you send me an email, here is my address..... thekwbonsaisociety@gmail.com Thanks!!
Hi Nigel :) think your fancy one has some kind of "over fertilised" looking foliage; like too much nitrogen ? ? or something else ? some leaves seem very dark green and a bit weird looking (or maybe it's just me!)
Hi Nigel. I'm terrible sorry to disturb your gardening. I have been wondering about the acacias you have. Would it be possible to give us an update? If you still have them? Thank you very much.
Fabulous video Nigel, pleased you have some warm sunny weather thanks for sharing
Growing from seed can be a very rewarding way to get some new trees.
Your greenhouse is an amazing find. Your trees have a great place to grow in. A lot of work went into getting the greenhouse up and going, but, as everyone can see it was well worth the work. Super video!!!
I love your garden, Nigel. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Madrid, Spain. It' s already 22 or 23 degrees celsius on average here.

Great to see your videos again. Lots of work with the coming of the warmer weather. My oaks, nothing yet. Glad yours are growing with nice vigor.

That Ford is no less than awesome.
Watching some of your old videos, bring back more of your fedora.
50 year old truck running good 60 year old nigel running even better 🥰
Thanks, very funny!!!
I truly love bonsai trees. I very much enjoy your videos. So glad you truck started.
Thanks Eva, I enjoy making the videos!!
A very green and lush update Nigel, I love spring, everything is getting greener by the day!
Hiya Jelle, good to see you here🤗
@@gayefanner731 haha hello Gaye👍
Hey Xin it’s you! I muddled you up with ‘Growing Bonsai’!(have you checked him out?Brilliant!) But always glad to hear from you haha! God bless you ✌️
Your little round flower pic(don’t know d name) is almost d same as Jelle’s choice, you obviously have a lot in common🤝!
Last one I promise! Just thought you’d like to know GrowingBonsai’s latest vid is wiring cuttings! You’re welcome, haha! ✌️
God job❤️ I like your bonsai👍👍

Looking great!! We have 3 more nights at freezing then I get to do the big shuffle also for the grow season!
Great video, thanks Nigel!
Ray and Jay. Great!!!

It's nice to see the benches greening up!
One of the best times of the year, also one of the most nervous times for me!!!

That’d be nightly then!!
Spring, best time of the year, all that green
Hi Nigel, it was good to finally meet you in person. "I'm not old, I'm classic " 😁
You too Dave, nice to be back to meeting in person again!!!

I just filmed a video for my channel on a tiger bark ficus. It should come out on Sunday.
Acacia's are looking great
Nigel is so professional, he can water 40 litres of water with a 5 litre can. 26:00

I leave the nut attached to the tree until it looks like it has shriveled up! Thanks Sigrid!
What happened to the neighborhood food forest project?
Finally spring 😁

I have problems with my pet chickens and turkeys eating the grit out of my bonsai pots any suggestions?
How many trees/plants do you currently have?
Hi. I really enjoy your videos. I want to make a few bonsai trees. Would you please tell me how to make or where to get bonsai soil
Hello Eva, you can order pre made bonsai soil on line, or check out some UA-cam videos, they will show you how to make your own!
@@TheBonsaiZone thank you
Where do you get your bonsai supplies?
Sir did u had ever try indian banyan bonsai.

Will my juniperus procumbens live through -30c here in canada?
It would need winter protection!
