Thanks Angela... well they do love to chew them here also... there's just so many plants .. they don't do much damage.. do you know the Brooklyn Terminal Market.. it's the wholesale distribution center ... where the simi trucks unload much of the plants that gget distributed to all the little stores that sell plants... out about 81 St and Foster I guess.. there's 6-8 wwholesalers there ... and they are happy to sell to anyone... quanity always gets their best prices ... but buying one is a great deal also.. there's a pile of them about here also.. Chelsea Garden center in Red Hook.. near me.. and I go to NJ alot to nurseries there... Metropolitan is in NJ just a block or so from the George Washington Bridge.. they are great.. This is nursery hunting season.. come on by for a road trip..
Thanks Christine.. yes I love Bamboo... you can split it into tiny pieces.. 1/2..1/3 ... or 1/4 dia and lash them together ... with the plastic wire ties... all my trellises are done with them... this is the most difficult time ... they are getting so big inside... but it is still a bit early for them to go out.. usually about the first of may for me now... I used to have them out on the 15th... but they might get set back if it gets cold again... then I'm a month or so getting them back... so I'm ahead if I just wait... I've some plants growing in Saugerties.. that I've given to friends there.. at their houses... deer proof items... not a single deer here .. one pest I miss on the roof...
SO there mighe be some folks that haven't seen my roof top as shown in the New Yorker vedio that was done... so check it out if you haven't seen it...
