Bonsai is an all-inclusive term for the Japanese art of miniaturizing trees by growing them in small containers. They are quite decorative and add charm to the home.

What goes around comes around

Hi,

Just wanted to add on to Rock's great answer that the term actually refers to a specific type of tree that is believed to have arrived to Japan from China. Today, The term is used in a more general sense to describe all miniature trees.

 All the best.

Mini Garden in October

It turned out that I just got into gardening all within the past 3 weeks and I had wasted my entire summer!! Anyways, so this is my mini garden in October. I live in the city with a 'yard' enclosure. So I have the following plants: Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Lentil Plants, 'Banana' plant, Strawberries, Cilantro, Basil, Thyme, Mint, Green Onions, Honey Dew etc. (No chili pepper plants) The lentil plants were started by sprouting and then planted in soil. (Just wanted to see what they would turn into.) Basil cuttings are from the herb basket. The herbs in the basket I did not start from seeds and were already harvested once. I water the plants with fish water from my mini aquaponic system. It is now Fall with temperatures in the 70s and nights being slightly colder. However there is no snow here.
