Start keeping your eyes open for the bag of crap. Be sure to log in now to be ready. This is the time it starts to show up.

I was at home at noon letting Steffi out when the BOC notice came on as a cell phone text message. I was too late to even think about it by that time.

I did buy two woot items; I got a Olive Bonsai and a new Roku to put into my bedroom and for vacation traveling. I love my old Roku, but the DW would rather watch an hour NCIS or Castle over a movie.

I saw the Bonsai, I had just bought one that I fell in love with when I saw it at the gardening store. My cost was $35 plus tax about $38 total. Woots price was $30 plus $5 shipping. IMO that was not a bargain price Mine is much nicer

And that is the difference between the big city and little Minneapolis area. Our selection is very limited on that type item.

I took a bonsai class many years ago, but haven't done well with my juniper bonsai living. I have boxwood that I will trim in the spring. The problem with that type plant is over wintering it. Normally-they are outside and go dormant. A bonsai version of that needs so much protection to not freeze. Hopefully, trimming in spring will allow me to get it acclimated and able to handle next winter.

The other issue I have is watering. I have a number of orchids which require little water and then the bonsai which needs water often. If I keep the watering schedule right, both will live.

I have no idea what I bought or how to take care of it. All I know Me, my wife and my son love it. Do you have a site you use to get info on these?
