Bamboo

We got 3 bamboos and large pots a few weeks ago, to give a bit more privacy on the decking to the side of the house.

We nearly lost one of them, as we hadn't watered them, thinking that the rain we got through May would have been enough to keep them going. Once we realised that they needed a lot more water than we had thought, I've been watering them every evening - one full watering can for the 1st one, which gets a lot of sun, and half a can each for the other 2.

They seem to like their new regime, and they are sprouting lots of new shoots - one of the pots now has 8 new stalks growing out of the ground at an amazing pace - the warm weather of the last few days certainly helped them along the way.
