It started weeks ago. Meanwhile, robusta has barely begun and nitida hasn't even started. I'd have to redo entire areas of the garden and get rid of other plants to add more bamboo at this point, but I'm determined to have lots of bamboo in my next garden.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-33497467158283411142017-04-27T09:29:01.669-05:002017-04-27T09:29:01.669-05:00Those are some strange looking asparagus.

I had never reflected on how different they are, but .... well, I think that's just one of those things that is obvious, but that just never crossed my mind.
