I got a refund for the bamboo but they said that the plants looked like they hadn’t been watered enough.  I don’t understand that since I was worried that I was overwatering them!

My continued absence is due to all my spare time being taken up with gardening.  Well it’s more manual labouring than gardening lol but I’m sure it will all be worth it in the end.  I’d rather be reading but I keep telling myself that it will be really nice to be sitting reading a book in my tranquil harmonious japanese garden once it’s finished!

Everything seems to require lots of digging though and I’m really getting sick of that activity.
