Cheers G!

Hey everybody, I'm back. I had a wonky spring & summer. I've been sick on and off since May, but I'm on the mend now. Thanks for thinking of me Brian. I look forward to hanging out with you guys again. I definitely need some inspiration and help for the fall.
Cheers!

It all starts with Kohaku.
Although i'm a Showa man myself !

This is a great forum too. Thanks Tokyo Mike!

George - Wow! Kanji is a beaut. I think I need a Showa now.

Thanks guys.

Hey George,
Thanks for the link. I can't wait to learn more about these majestic creatures. My favorite color pattern is Kohaku. I noticed on your website George that you have a few beautiful Kohakus among other outstanding koi. I think Tancho is my favorite. Thanks for the help.
Cheers!

Hi everyone, are you ready for spring yet! I hope you folks are surviving the winter ok. I miss hanging out with you all. It was a crazy 08. I’m glad we got through it. This winter has been an old fashioned one so far, like when I was a kid. We’ve been getting a snowstorm every week. We’ve received ...

George…your garden makes me weep. It’s so inspirational.

Hi Daren,
I have a wet spot too, and I was thinking of planting a Dawn Redwood. What do you think of those?

Hi, I need some hibiscus help. It’s in the house and it's been at a stand still for about 4 months now with no flowers. From a distance it looks normal but when you get up close it has a wet substance on some of the leaves. And with further inspection today, I noticed tiny white bugs for the first t...

I did it. The candles popped right off, easier than I expected. Thanks for your help George.

Hi George,
Should I pinch the candle right at the base, thus removing the whole candle? Or should I leave a little bit?

(update) I gave him a home in the front of the house. It really completed the look I was going for. I'm thrilled with it. I have a question though, when and how much should I pinch off the candles? I would like to keep it as small as possible.:D http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8504/nawaki009small...

(nawaki update) I took pictures today of the beautiful blossoms. There is not many of them, but I'm still enjoying hanami.:D What do you guys think? http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9981/nawaki005smallxx4.jpg http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9981/nawaki005smallxx4.a43a574875.jpg http://img293.im...

I like it. I really want to try it this year. Thanks for the pics!

Darren-
I'll have to look into camomile or sedum. Thanks!

Hapygdnr-
I would love to see a picture when you get a chance. Thanks for your help.

Thanks George, that makes sense. I'll experiment with a few small plants. I just need to find it now. I'll see what I can find. Mean while I'm in the middle of a new lawn project in the back yard. Little by little, it's coming along.

Hi guys, I love the way saxafraga and soleirolii looks. George, that’s a beautiful picture, especially with the koi/goldfish? and water. WOW! From what I’ve been reading, saxafraga and soleirolii might not like my spot. It’s in full sun all day, no shade. That’s what brought me to thyme. I’m in east...

Hi, I didn't know where to post this question. I posted this in the JP forum too. I have a full-sun spot around a large rock that I would like to do the karensansui affect. I found a groundcover online called Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin'. It sounds like it would be a perfect substitute for moss. I origi...

Hi, I have a full-sun spot around a large rock that I would like to do the karensansui affect. I found a groundcover online called Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin'. It sounds like it would be a perfect substitute for moss. I originally was interested in Corsican mint, but I think Thymus would be a better ch...

Hi! I still havn't tied the 3 limbs down yet. I will do it in a few weeks when it warms up. We've had a cold spring so far. I'll be sure to post pics. I am interested in how it will flower. Thanks for asking.
