Too much bamboo !

0 comments

The man who fixed my decking lives just around the corner, literally, about 500 yards away.
While he was doing the decking he said he had some bamboo in his garden and he was going to dig it up because it was taking over … and he asked me if I would like some.

Of course I said “Yes please”, and knowing how they spread I thought I would put it in a pot.

Well yesterday afternoon, while I was in the garden, I heard him calling me from the side entrance, and he and his wife had brought me ‘some’ bamboo ! – Actually loads of it ! They were both carrying huge clumps of it !

I had a shock but thanked them and they went away.
Then I thought “What on earth am I going to do with all that !”
So I found two big pots and planted some in each, and the rest went into my garden waste bin …

There’s more in the bin than in the pots !
