Post a CommentI always loved the idea of growing Bonsai - but I have been intimidated by the requirements. If I was going to grow it, I would love to do evergreen trees, especially. To make them ancient looking. But I was really surprised when you included pomegranate. I wonder where you can buy these trees to begin with (or seeds)?
neat ideas
Great article. I planted several tomato plants and decided that I would trim the plants extra limbs and tops off so the plants would produce more tomatos. I wound up with sort of a Bonsai plant with all kinds of tomatos coming out.
