Bonsai is slow and so am I

I finally got a new pot for my juniper. My mother took me to B. B. Barnes Garden Center in Asheville and they had a nice selection of inexpensive bonsai pots.  This one is slightly larger than the one this tree was already in.

I put the tree in a bucket of water while I got planting medium from the shed.  (I was a amused to find a hazelnut buried in the third scoop.)   By the time I was ready for the tree, all the “soil” had fallen out and it was free to settle in.

I haven’t done anything with the cedar, yet. I’m starting to see a shape, though. So, it’s probably time to start looking for another pot. The maple is going to be a while taking shape.

What do you think?
