Winter quarters

I decided to try keeping several potted potential bonsai in the garage this winter instead of having to disturb the roots by pulling them out of their pots and putting them in the ground.  It will also save time in the Spring, if they survive, when I know I'll have to be digging up 7 trees currently growing in the ground where I plan to put in vegetables next year.  There is an East facing window to keep the mugo pine and azalea photosynesizing, and perhaps keep them a little warmer on clear days, which are usually colder.  There is also a large willow branch that I collected during the snow storm in October when so many branches broke off due to the heavy snow load on branches that hadn't lost any leaves yet.  I hope it will root and make a nice big bonsai.
