Sally, I've never seen bamboo so huge available anywhere! Why is it called asspergrass? inventor of bamboo framing?

I still have a ways to go on my watering can mosaic... meanwhile, I've lined up another garden project that I've been wanting to do for years: paint an old chair and use it as a planter.

The wicker seat had collapsed many years ago and I did start using the chair the past few years as a planter by shoving a coconut fiber base into the seat. It needs an overhaul though. I plan to paint it pink with green slats or vise versa and fill the seat with dragon wing begonias. I picked up the begonias yesterday.

Here is a before pick of the chair. I'll post the after pick... but don't hold your breath lol
