What do you Collect?

Okay, you're all gonna think I'm weird. Every spring, when people throw azaleas, junipers, and yews out at the curb, I pick them up, revive them, and then turn some of them into bonsai. Most, I keep for my personal collection, some are 50 to 75 years old. The others, I sell on e-bay.

That sounds like a more advanced level of scrapping. I don't have the patience to maintain and resell garden scraps.

Who is older, you or the keepers. LOL
Bonsai is a really cool art. Could you post some pics?

Yeah, you're weird... I'm weird. In my opinion, anyone who finds life a curiosity and interesting is weird. So many people I meet look at stuff I find fascinating and say ho hum. Relish the weird.
