Winter vegetable gardening
Im a bit behind (we had a medium hard frost overnight), but Im ready to put plastic over bamboo and river cane supports to create low hoop tunnels.
Arundinaria gigantea is one of our native bamboos in the SE US, and its young canes make lovely supports, as theyre flexible and an attractive purple green color.
But young canes of Asian bamboo (overly robust where planted around here), work well too.
When green, theyre flexible, and have the advantage over PVC pipe of being sustainable (that is, biodegradable) and attractive.
