Bamboo

Matt and I drove to Napa yesterday and bought a metal stock tank full of bamboo from a craigslister for $35! Even when you add the cost of gas and time, this was a bargain - and it looks very healthy. It was a major pain to get up the stairs into the house and through to the patio, but well worth the effort.

It's already leaning over the door - we'll need to tie it back a bit.
