My Seat Has Come To Life
I had a bit of a shock today. My seat at the back of my garden has come to life and sprung leaves… Quite strange you might think seeing as it has been sitting there for about 6 months, as I went to sit on it I spotted leaves sprouting from it and quickly stopped myself from sitting down.
I know what you are thinking. How can a seat come to life? Well I guess I forgot to mention that it is a log so I suppose it’s not impossible.
But it is a bit more strange when you think that this log was cut down about 9 months ago and has led around ever since. It has dried out so much it has a big crack down the middle of it. It currently sits on some bark chippings which in turn sit on a large plastic sheet. So this log that has come to life does not even live in soil which makes it even more strange.
I have some big plans for this log that has come to life. My initial thought is to plant it into my gigantic pot that it looking for a bonsai. Then I will let the log grow raft style, cover the trunk with moss so that it looks like a forest is growing out of a large hill. It sounds like a great idea but I don’t know if it might be a bit of a waste of such a massive piece of yamadori.
