summer_jackelHere are some progress photos of the four little yearling-graft Japanese maples I brought home last summer.
The red dragon.
The red filigree lace. It's the only one of the four I'm doing any training with right now, but I have high hopes for its beautiful shape if I brace it this spring.
The rubrifolium in situ.
The waterfall, which is a little scruffy and slug-nibbled right now.
A little redwood in a pot.
These, clearly, are not trees at all, but meet my ducks! All five of them have reached maturity and are healthy, lovely ducks who are now living outside. The two drakes are Dutch Bill (after a local historical figure) and Onyx; the three hens are Silver, Steel and Labradorite, which shortens to Lab. Yep, I have a black duck named Lab, because I am that funny.

Date: 2012-05-14 04:44 am (UTC)My garden is full shade, so I am not working with any fruit bearers; just the maples so far, which love it here. I put in the redwoods this month and just got an oak sapling that I'm going to try and shape a little bit. It's fun!
