Bonsai and Beer

My fridge contains nothing now except seeds for trees to grow as bonsai, bottles of beer and expired smoothies.

My interest in bonsai began with The Karate Kid and ended pretty quickly afterwards. I did make an attempt to grow a bonsai from a tree clipping as a child after I had seen the film. Clipping might be too grand a word for it. It was a little twig but my mother was big into gardening and I used some type of solution that she had to encourage clippings to develop roots. I had some success with that and planted it in a wooden pot which would have made a very fine bonsai container. The clipping survived for a couple of weeks. I thought I was getting somewhere when it sprouted a leaf but this in fact seemed to take all its strength and it died soon afterwards. (more)
