Andy StablerSomeone said "oh you're the plant man" to me while walking the dog the other day. Probably a sign I'm spending too much time doing strange things to plants in my front garden.
I should clarify that by strange things I mean wiring and bending them. I was given this cotoneaster in Spring. In April you can see it was not happy, but after a growing season of good soil, feeding, wiring, pruning, it's becoming a lovely shape.
I've been taking photos throughout the growing season too to track its progress. Incredibly nerdy, but if anyone else is interested, you can see them here https://photos.app.goo.gl/8CBr418pzsNQxDYi8
I also have this Instagram page to track their progress. https://www.instagram.com/vaikingu_no_bonsai (it's in Japanese because I have the JLPT exam in December and I need to use every opportunity to study 🙈)
