They say the first step in addiction recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Hi I’m the Zombie Medic and I am addicted to Bonsai.

I have been fascinated with the simple beauty that can be achieved when a gardner works with a tree for a long period of time, the goal being to re-create a larger tree found in nature. I recently picked up my first Elm, and a second juniper with a very long canopy that I will have to do something with soon. I haven’t quite figured out what I want to start yet, and I am fearful of starting without a vision. To add to this I found a Japanese Maple on sale today, so that will arrive next Tuesday and I will of course have to get that planted and started, as its a sapling I can wire it immediately and start it, that one I have a vision for, going to do a cloud pattern with eventually three or four tiers.

I have a problem, It keeps me out of trouble and gives me some purpose in life, but I do have a problem.

I wonder if Mrs. ZM will let me do a maple sapling in the yard next year?
