Yowsa! I leave you all alone for a few hours, and then this... hehehe...

Maybe I should clarify some things.

First off... Obviously keeping the bonsai on the ledge that I have built outside my kitchen window isn't ideal - but given the situation that I'm in, it's as ideal as it's gonna get I think. *lol*

Secondly... The ledge is north facing, and I'm in the northern hemisphere. That means it won't get a lot of sun - so it won't cook in the summer, but then again it likely won't grow as quickly either...?

Finally... I'm on the top floor of a three story apartment building. It's either keep it where it is, or else get rid of it. I suppose I could take it back to my parent's house and plant it there, but I don't think it would get the same care and attention I give him.

Temperatures here in Vancouver hover around 5'C to 10'C (40'F to 55'F) in the winter, and they rarely dip below freezing. During the summer, temperatures usually are in the 15'C to 25'C range (60'F to 85'F). They rarely surpass 30'C (90'F). (All temperatures estimated)

That's about it, I guess.

Cheers,
Spencer

PS - here's my juniper (photo taken indoors, but don't worry he doesn't live indoors. and the rocks are NOT glued on. *lol* I'm planning on repotting him this spring...?)
