Bamboo

[rice paddy daddy]

Before anyone gets the idea to plant some bamboo, there are a number of varieties. Some are very invasive, and can grow at the rate of 18 inches per day given enough rain.

Oh, and if you have a next door neighbor who is a Vietnam vet, you just may get some reaction to the sound of the stalks bumping against each other in a breeze.
Especially after dark.

Early in our marriage, my wife wanted some bamboo along the edge of the yard. Nope.
