Bamboo

Technically, it probably wasn't even Dan's bamboo, but the big patch growing on the neighbor's side of my cousin's fence had spread into his yard and he wanted it thinned out. We cut the tallest stalks and hauled them to my Happy Valley garden. Having built one bamboo trellis last year when the peas outgrew their little wire trellis, with this generous supply of bamboo poles, now I can build more trellises for this season's beans, peas, raspberries, sweet peas, nasturtiums, and any other plants that might do well supported up off the ground.

There were also some old stakes that he had laying around that I was able to salvage.

Seems there's always something that needs to be staked up in the garden, so it will be nice to have this stash already on hand.
