BAMBOO!

 Today was a big day. We had 25 bamboos, each between 3 and 4 meters tall, delivered and planted along the north and west walls of the property. I saw that there was some soil improvement from the work I did last spring when I prepped the holes, so that was gratifying. We inserted 6 trees along the bamboo rows for a bit of diversity, but the primary purposes of the bamboo are privacy and shade. This is the first-and will be the last-of garden expansion until the structures are built. There is still work to be done in the olive garden, and we will continue to concentrate on that area over the fall and winter.
