Not a regular here, but visit often. My bamboo stand (70ft x 15 ft plot) is doing great, in it’s (I think) 4th year. Last year I had some get around 10 ft tall. This year, I’m hoping some will get close to 15ft. Hundreds of new shoots - lovin it!
Oh, the Mrs. and I have a garden too :-) Nothing started here yet (Eastern Nebraska).
Anyone have suggestions on Blueberries? Our soil is sooo alkiline. Last week, I sprinkled ammonium sulfate around them. I’ve got 7 plants, and they’re just so spindly. They’re about 5 years old.
God Bless and Happy Easter!

You need to seriously acidify your soil for blueberries. IIRC, they grow best in a soil pH of 4.0-6.0.
I know I am late to the thread, but I thought I would tell you how a friend who owned a nursery told me to plant blueberries.
She said dig a really big hole, and put a big bag of sphagnum moss next to it; Cut an x in the bag and stick a hose in it and let it soak all night. Next day, plant the blueberry in the hole with the wet moss. Don’t use any dirt, just the moss. That makes it acid enough.
