Mary could not stop herself, she was out bright and early every morning over Thanksgiving break. She was chopping broccoli, moving banana plants and carving out new bamboo from some of our Emerald.

This group of bamboo was planted over the 2017 Thanksgiving break. We bought four Emerald and two Hawaiian-Stripe bamboo plants at Rockledge Gardens nursery.
Mary dug and carved out more Emerald bamboo from our own growth.
