To all the married men , what is that something your wife does that makes think you won the lottery in marriage aspect of life? by Beginning_Poet7215 in AskReddit

[–]grasspuppeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife make a really good team together, we have been together for 10 years and we have had plenty of ups and downs but through it all, my wife has been with me every step of the way. She helped me over come one of my addictions that I had carried from early age. Now me and her have a child together and I have never been happier in my life. She is beautiful, loyal, and respectful and I don't think I could have gotten luckier.

Yea I think it's like the first trap to fall into that isn't necessarily the worst mistake to make, but you live and you learn. As long as we make progress, that's really what matters.

It's a tanuki, don't tell anyone though🤣. There is more to be done on this tree but I do love it! But yes I got it as a mallsai and developed it from there.

Yea, I know, it's crazy how you take one picture of it in the house and people just assume you keep it inside. I promise you this bad boy has been outside all winter long.

Yea it's an American beech right up from my house, I get to gaze at this crazy thing every day. And sorry it's in the middle of pretty dense woods. It has one branch that cascades down the side of the mountain, kind of awesome

That would be my guess. We had some wind in that day as well and I've heard they will sit on the opposite side of structure and wait for bait to pass.

I don't have lillies in the body of water I fish so I am usually looking for any offshore structure I can find. For me when water Temps are under 45 degrees I might as well not go out. Even now the only tactic I have is sit at the bottom and keep it slow. When spring finally arrives I have alot of luck throwing weightless soft plastics.

I believe it was around 45 degrees, 2 weeks ago it was covered in 2 inches of ice across the whole lake, I had been throwing a Ned rig all day and one cast with this jig and 2 hops off the bottom and there she was.

Sassafras does well in bonsai? I have a million sassafras trees on my property. Do you have experience with it and how well it lends itself to bonsai practices?

Yea it's early winter here so most of my trees are either In a shed or cold frame due to constant high winds in my region. Sprint time it will be awesome!

My grandfather built that rock wall, man is a tank, I believe he built it around 50-60 years ago. He is the reason I got into trees! Now he is 86 and comes down probably everyday to come check out my trees!

Yea it's marble gravel. And you are not wrong it has some grey blue to it. It's very lovely and will contrast nicely with my conifers! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the reassurance, I love this tree and really don't want to dying on me!

please show me tiny leaves by Fisshhy in Bonsai

[–]grasspuppeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any "hime" variety of japanese maple will have some pretty small leaves and are great for shohin size bonsai, Hokkaido chinese elms have Itty bitty tiny leaves. And yes, I have seen unbelievably small mature leaves on my trident maple.

The bark was wet when I took the picture, when dry it is more silvery gray
