Rural Gardening: Star-spangled time on the July homestead, 1 by CricketsGarden

I didn't think to take a picture of the large cane that we harvested the side shoots off of but I have several other young patches of variegated cane growing. The oldest patch grew 12 feet tall plus it would have seed feathers at the top that reached a few more feet higher. In the spring, new shoots grow from the soil and it is variegated. As summer approaches, it turns more green but the tops still have their variegation.


Picture= a patch that has been established for a year now but grew from a good stock of rhizomes.
not sure how long it will take for rooted side shoots to grow nice size rhizomes and large canes.

(looking on photobucket for an old picture )
