Spring is pushing everywhere. I’ve pretty well finished transplanting and have been refreshing the top soil on many of my trees that didn’t need transplanting.

March is a beautiful month to me, signs of our trees pushing their new growth, with swollen new buds, and emerging leaves bursting out. Yes, spring is slowly showing its face for us bonsai enthusiasts.

Our club has a problem to solve, but really it's a good problem. If you have noticed for the past few meetings our attendance has exploded, with new members and others who are interested in attending our meetings. It is a blessing to see this happening!

This year we’ve had a steady stream of soaking rain, but very little sticking as snow pack in the mountain watersheds which may create a problem later in the year. Still I hope there is more on the way in February and March.
