Hypothetical.... you think I have a shot to barter (picturing at say Alberta farmer's market) a minvan full of Mamoa-themed bansai for a #vanlifer's partially built out sprinter?
When making that stuff at home, remember that Kefir can be 1-2% ethanol (or more) under home conditions. This can lead to...detectable traces of alcohol in the bloodstream. Not intoxication per se, but detectable levels nonetheless. The commercial stuff is controlled so as to limit the organisms leading to ethanol production during fermentation.
Love maple starts - such beautiful grace and form… not describing the container it is growing in.
Semi-Cascade Style, Han-Kengai.... Working on my Jason Momoa promotional popcorn-bucket bansai today. That bucket has styrofoam in it up until basically the pec line, plus a bunch of drainage holes, obviously. We get so many little maple seed starts in the yard that dumb stuff like this can turn out pretty fun. Plus when I get bored with it, it goes out on the front step with a free sign and this thing is guaranteed gone in 10 minutes...

One of my bonsai is covered with some sort of furry thing. It goes away on rainy days though.
It’s on now 
To prevent this from continuing...
I installed some removable fencing.

Gotta get my sugar snap peas going!
Planted our 'Cascadia' last week. Switching from snow peas years past. Good Luck!
You should retire they said. It will be relaxing they said…
We have no idea where this tulip came from. This is our 4th spring in this house and have never seen it before. The leaves look like shit but this crazy flower came out of it.
Lots of pollen right now.
My other white car is turning green.

Spring is a bit later here in Chicagoland; my daffodils are only now in bloom.
I planted 181 cloves of garlic last October, and they are looking great; I planted another 150 onions (yellow and red) last week. This weekend's weather was glorious here, so I planted dill, tomatoes, Chinese cucumbers, loofah gourds, two kinds of runner beans, sweet peas, potatoes, zucchini, summer squash, green onions, cilantro, Italian parsley, I think that's it.
I've got a space about 15' x 4' that I still need to fill. I'd like bush beans, but man, the rabbits love them and always find a way into my garden. Green Peppers maybe, but it's too late to start them so I'll need to go to a nursery or big box, yech.

Thanks for the idea - neighborhood cats love to dig in our yard - I can almost tolerate that sh-- when they dig outside the raised beds. I might sub bird netting (if I get the energy to do what you've done). Nice!!
Yes but now you get to work on what you want, when you want. I can’t figure out how I got everything done when I was working. Looks like a great project and it would be fun to see the end result.
It's taken some time. Lots of stapling but a pneumatic stapler helps. I still have five more panels to build.
