Re: So guys....
I just got a start of Moso froma friend who got it from a friend in SC who has several large groves. (For those who know him, its Mike T in Marietta, SC) I cannot wait for this bamboo to grow, as it is a beautiful one. Plus, once it is established, you can plant various things among the culms, such ar Trachycarpus and maybe even Muse Basjoo.

Re: So guys....
When I lived in Panama, we had a bamboo grove out back. I can't ever remember it running badly, but then I was young. Plus, we had constant lawn maintenance provided by the good ole US gov. For me, the clumping bamboo has a different feel/look/whatever and doesn't have the same appeal. I've read so many horror stories and for someone like me.. (lazy).. running bamboo should be a no no, out-lawed. However, it is lovely, and the wind blowing through.. would almost make it worth the work. Even for me.
 Anna.. about that cordless weed-eater.. that's bad news. Maybe I need two, one to use while the other is charging. Gah! *High-fives Tammy and Anna* We know how to work around our men! |

Re: So guys....
Tammy.. I was born in Gitmo, Cuba (Navy)
In Panama, I went to Coco Solo elementary school, then Cristobal Junior/Senior High. Go Tigers! Lived in Coco Solo and Gatun, right beside the lighthouse that overlooks the Gatun Locks. Coolest! Ginups, ice cream beans, corbina in butter sauce, Gatun Yacht Club, Breakers Club lagoon, that darned rickety bumpy train. Some of my fav things. What I don't miss.. those danged migrating land crabs and the crunch that comes with them. We didn't have any roaches where I lived, or flies. Our dog never saw a fly until we spent a week in the interior. Sand fleas, yes yes yes. Don't miss them either. Anyways.. way off topic. Email me if you want. |
