It might just help out another gardener. I can't relate to your having to get rid of all that bamboo but I do remember a friend giving me some bamboo to put in my bee houses and D cut it for me on the power saw. It nearly broke the darned thing. Look forward to your Scotland trip.

Lots of great things happening in your green world, even in winter. Well, except for the ant thing. Yikes.

I don't know if that would work for your pond, but thought I would mention it!

I have a plant that's almost 30 years old - got it for $1 at a nursery that was closing - that has provided hundreds of plants to friends and family over the years. That was one great buy!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185255434783858464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-80071332889284493352019-02-18T23:03:52.747-06:002019-02-18T23:03:52.747-06:00I enjoyed this “smattering” of Alanisms...I enjoyed this “smattering” of Alanisms...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-64436496125269395892019-02-18T17:08:05.537-06:002019-02-18T17:08:05.537-06:00Great post!

'Carmencita' has reliably self-seeded in my Northeast Kansas garden for seven years, sometimes alarmingly. Down the road, a huge patch of 'Zanzibarensis', at least 20 feet tall, has come back for 15 years. The gardener swears it returns from the roots. I always harvest 'Carmencita' when the pods are brown and brittle, after a couple of frosts on a dry, sunny day. Never have germination problems.<br /><br />Best of luck for the new season.<br /><br /><br />Tomhttps://myeducationofagardener.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
