It Begins...

After many, many attempts at growing bonsai trees (and subsequent horticultural massacre) I have decided to give it a proper go.

Reading material is on order, as are plenty of seeds. A somewhat messy Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) has been purchased alongside a rather basic Bonsai Encyclopedia that I have yet to open, plus the usual trimming shears, Bonsai feed, etc...

Let's hope, for the sake of my self-esteem and the (existing and potential) tree-lives now in my hands, that I don't repeat my past mistakes.
