Bamboo

Very impressive!

Julia, I have never the stems like this before. There is water between them and the low railing.

That accounts for the rapid growth.

That’s a nice type of bamboo that seems to stay altogether. Some types spread like couch grass!

Josie, I will never, ever plant a Bamboo in my garden after the tremendous spread of one I planted years ago! It was in a small raised bed, that was edged with the log-roll stuff and the Bamboo roots pushed it over, awful stuff and a devil to remove too!

Shirley, there’s a corner of waste land in our Close that has been completely taken over by a tall bamboo. How it could ever be got rid of I can’t think. I ‘m glad I’m not living next to it. Just thought, perhaps a Panda would be useful!

That made me laugh, about the Panda, not the invasive Bamboo!
