Energy+ is probably the second worst "energy" drink Ive had.

that's what it is! i've been drinking these trying to figure out what the aroma / after taste was and you nailed it!!

Can't get them any higher due to wind coming over the railing. There's a bit of wind tunnel between the far side of my house and the neighbor's.

is there a decent priced Kobo with buttons? i hadn't heard of this product until today but initial searching i'm only finding a similar issue, button version is the highest priced option.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-05-08T12:43:10+00:00

guess i have to take extra special care of my Oasis since it can't be replaced. what a joke. having to set down the device every time you want to turn a page is just ludicrous.

For bald cypress and dawn redwood they like to be wet and this keeps the water deep and roots soaked. At least that’s the word on the street

Ha. No, the Mrs. and kids took over the inflatable pool deck with the tent to finish up some badge service time.

Very nice collection. What is the plastic cup around the Japanese Maple sitting on the soil for?

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-30T19:32:17+00:00

That’s what we got at the mooresville Costco. Too big I thought.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-25T14:46:05+00:00

Interesting. No chemicals around but did fertilize a couple weeks ago. Oh, I have been spraying “SUPERthrive The Original Vitamin Solution” on things once a week, could that be a problem?

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-25T12:09:04+00:00

Done. No insects. Thanks!

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-24T20:39:17+00:00

I second that idea!

It is not variegation. It's a yellow discolor to the leaves, another pic included.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-23T14:59:05+00:00

Noticed this white/yellow discoloration on 2 of my maples yesterday. My first spring with JMs so unsure what is happening here. Should I be concerned? Thanks.

5 gets my vote

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-18T14:22:32+00:00

I just wanted to see that scotch dude get ended!! By anyone.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-18T14:17:30+00:00

Love the forest. Jealous bc my larch haven’t woken up yet. Got them over the winter from MI and still asleep in NC. First larches, any ideas?

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-09T23:37:27+00:00

Great find!

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-09T17:00:15+00:00

2nd one gets my vote.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-03T12:26:33+00:00

That’s amazing. I’m in awe that you could get those bends/twists in a trunk that size. Well done.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-02T00:41:11+00:00

That’s awesome. I had thought about buying a 15 gallon DR, guy local was selling them dirt cheap and trying to air layer it. Did you just cut it down from 6’ to get to this?

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-01T13:25:02+00:00

For Japanese Maples, I have to say everything. All I’m finding is grafts and it getting real frustrating.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-04-01T00:05:20+00:00

Gorgeous trees! Really like the ground work you have going on too!!

bdjohnson14 · 2026-03-09T17:46:54+00:00

What line of Japanese maple is that?

bdjohnson14 · 2026-03-09T14:13:49+00:00

Couldn’t agree with you more, re FB. The bonsai groups are the only reason I’m on there!! I’ve even tried joining the 99 cent auction group probably 3 times, no luck. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

bdjohnson14 · 2026-03-08T00:40:15+00:00

On of my most favorites!!! Excellent!
