SOME PICS FROM LATE SUMMER


Chinese cork bark elm and it´s airlayered bottom branch that had to be cut too early due to losing leaves - some roots formed but very little and now it is growing more and more of them in a bowl of water.

The other large tree that is gonna be one of my biggest treasures - 30 years old wisteria is doing great too, and I got primary branches where I wanted them. One more year and they should be thick enough.

I am very happy how my populus x canescens is evolving too.

I have to share my amazing grandma again, she spent most of the summer making jams and lot of other things to fill our storage room with goodies from our garden while feeding our hungry bellies along the way - everyday. There is no stopping her and her neverending care and good spirits are invaluable.

While the kids play

and sometimes even help grandma

But at the end there she is alone closing gates and another day of our lives.

And all she expects to get back is our happiness....

GOING PRO


Ever since I started with bonsai landscapes and bonsai in general, I dreamt of doing it professionally one day. Who can imagine more fulfilling life than the one when you do the things you love for living? Fourth growing season later, after reading possibly every bonsai blog I came across back to back, and learning from every other available source like forums, books, videos and most importantly - my mistakes, the time has come to get on with it.
Because I am the kind of person who follows his dreams.
Just as a side bussiness to my regular work at the factory for starters, but it has begun!
I registered at the required offices, went through all the necessary paperworks and opened my own eshop dedicated to bonsai landscapes mostly, but as time goes by I will be offering all the things bonsai related.
NO MALLSAIS though - that is one of my first "Bussiness policy" rules.
This is gonna be new and interesting journey for me and I am very happy about it - and I am looking forward to more learning and creating as now I have another driving force to fuel my passion.
You are all invited to take a look here:


Mimo´s eshop


Any feedback is appreciated so do not hesitate to leave me a comment here :)
I will be shipping only nationwide first, but who knows, maybe try EU in coming years too.
We´ll see how it goes.
The good sign is that I´ve sold 3 landscapes shortly before going official, so there might be some demand for this kind of stuff out there after all.


P.S: I am also quite impulsive kind of a guy and all this migth be just a consequence of reading Charles Branson´s book called "Like a Virgin" very recently, but hey - when you don´t try, you´ll never find out what might happen.
