I have a cunning plan.
One so cunning that even the head master . At the institute for the application and the processes of being cunning. Wouldn't even see how cunning it was .
This plan should hopefully allow the girls a little more of the sun and allow the growth at the base , to properly utilise the sun .

Until I have done what is in my mind's eye . Here are some current pics from today.

Ok so I have been busy(ish).
Yesterday and this afternoon I cleared away the high slab that created some of the walls around the girls. T'was looking kinda shady.
Replacing the slabs with some bricks. Top up with some fresh compost.

The canes that form the trellis behind plus the supporting canes were removed and I started building this ...

Around the end and front face so far . I still need to tie , position & restrain the newly orientated branches and close off tying as I go.

So a bit more cane
work before a quick little bit of repositioning some feed as they are due plus , always good after a training session.
Despite having a fair amount of rain over the last few days . Some more pics of before, during and after... To follow

I've opened up the end letting in the light from Bonsai 's left ( right-hand side as we see it in the pics ) .
Trying to find the best placement for all the growth is the tricky part.

Olympia, has some scaffolding too still need those extra canes . Going to go along the back wall , few in between strategically placed for anchorage per-say.
Below is Shiva . I really need to make sure that both the girls left and right of Shiva... Do not steal her limelight .

Hopefully there is still a couple more pics allowed before maximum so ... One of Bonsai before the wall removal and one after. This added air and light should be a good thing.

Bonsai here and Olympia are beast's for sure . Still chucking out clones , covering a fair amount of space . Between them is Shiva and it's almost like Shiva has 2 bodyguards.

They are stretching out into Shiva's space.

I see some pink preflower pistils on the top pic, last post… which one is she?
I believe that might be Shiva. From the Super#61.
Got to get ready for work now . Just taken a few pics of the girls and a few close ups of Shiva.

Going to be some chunky buds on that fast lemon cake in a month or so!
And some autumn trees of course…

I had a gentle squeeze of Gaia's flowers last night, I was reminded of lemon curd ... Which is very nice in toast by the way .
So Gaia is definitely of the Lemon . I am well looking forward to see how the flavour compares, if they taste like they smell . It will be enjoyable making edibles . Lemon drizzle cake with a nice 🍋 cake infused drizzle, yum yum .

I’ve got some citric acid powder… if you make any hash and want some let me know…

Surprise surprise... Out taking some pics and it starts to rain .
So upload pics I've taken so far .

Bonsai's undercarriage. I'm finding it difficult to get the whole image of any of the girls . Shiva and Gaia offer less difficulty, however Bonsai and Olympia need a long zoom to see the actual size . So after I took the undercarriage pic I went up and out to show as much of her as possible the same for Olympia.

Here are a few more pics of Bonsai .

Here I'm using two canes in order to enable the twist (rotation) of the main body ( stem / trunk ) . I'm still unsure of how I'm even going to be able to get all the growth, the light it is going to need in order to produce load of lovely flowers 🌞 🙏
IMG_20230730_125755.jpg

Both Olympia and Bonsai have branches roughly 18 inches at least . Next year I'm going to utilise and stretch them out like a cowboy being pegged out by an Injun ( Indian ) ... It's all those old country and western films reference).
