Bonsai herbs

I`m not a great fanatic of herbs , but as i almost kicked out my miss out of the garden with her invasive mint , potatoes, garlic and so on she is claiming her patch back , so i found i way to enjoy and make her happy.
i always wanted to start some bonsai to contemplate my tropical garden ...and look what it come along.

rosemary bonsai

basil bonsai

salvia bonsai

thyme bonsai

 

Most excellent. What are the red things on the thyme 'tree'? They look like fruit, but I didn't think thyme produced fruit.

 

no idea , it`s called thyme leaves , but sure it`s not a thyme,
this is a thyme bonsai (the other look better)

 

Wow very good I love it ..Ive just started bonsai myself love it..

 

the thyme bonsai with red berries. it is a Cotonester, micro filius (bad spelling) , thyme.it is not a real herb or thyme. i want mine to look like. i must say it is the most beautiful one i have seen. the birds eat the berry in winter. i am envious . i have 22 to make a garden railroad apple orchard layout in pots. i joined up just to reply. i am a beginner at bonsai. BEAUTIFUL

 

The basil bonsai looks like sage to me,ive got 15 sage cuttings i could practise on when they grow great sal
soz just realised salvia was written underneath

 

I`ve actually just managed to get some egyptian Basil seeds , finger cross I will manage to some nice bonsai out of it.
why the egyptian basil? it`s the only one that form a tree and not die .
btw seen one made out of parsley.

 

Joolz , look at this , I`m just try it...doesn`t cost me a penny ...
it`s a cabbage stalk.....I was using this system to get free seeds out of Veg.
but it start to look more and more like a bonsai.

 

I thought Bonsai was meant to be small and elegant. ?

 

Yes they meant to be....but you can fry up this one


it`s just an experiment

 

Will you make a stir fry? Fry a few onions, and some bacon, don't start me off, or this will become a cookery forum....

 

I use cabbage for stir fry or home made coslow , this is the left over stalk.

Of course that we can`t tecnically call them bonsai as the word bonsai is related to tree , but what I saying is , something it incredible what can you do with nature ....

 

Sal i took some photos of the "mint project" for you!

 

Hi James how you doing , I wanted to contact you , need to know when to cut my bonchi ...keep doing the roots and they have stopped growing ....one of the branch is broken ....


the other herbs are coming up fine thyme is one of the best already look like a bonsai....will post few pictures.

 

I'm not too bad thanks how are you? They look pretty good! ive stuck mine for overwintering and regrowth now so they get loads of light but no heat all of them just stumps in the soil with new growth that awkward light green colour. I'd just prevent them from getting too much more straggly branchwise. or train the branches with wire im contemplating making a shaped one but dont know if its worth the effort lol :D
