You're welcome.

But , to be honest, you've picked the hardest way to learn. It's far easier to find a more mature "shrub" or "bush" at the garden centre and hack it back to a bonsai than it is to grow a bonsai from what is essentially a seedling. You'll not learn a lot about bonsai like this...and the wait will seem endless.

I suggest you go read Brent's advice on this - it's very sound: http://www.evergreengardenworks.com/bonsaibe.htm
