All That Bamboo

No, the title of this post is not an idea for a new reality TV show... but we will be doing an endurance test for the rest of the summer turning a huge amount of bamboo into lovely little fences around the garden. This picture represents one corner of all the stuff we've collected for the job:



Every corner of our backyard has this stuff stacked up against the fences all around. Laiyee found a neighbor up in the Hollywood Hills who had a incredible amount of bamboo they'd been eradicating... and in two afternoons, while borrowing Bob and Laiyee's truck, we collected ginormous amounts of raw material. It took me a few days to recover from that, my chest arms and back have never had such sore muscles. My arms still have scabs all over them!
