Kinda been playing waiting on spring planting.Always looking at James bamboo.I have a patch of it and am always trying to find a use for it.Bored today,took some pics  I am planting several kinds of birdhouse gourds this year.Different structures for them to climb on.   Put wire on it,ready to go.   Will have these all around the garden  Cut lots of small pieces for a bee house,for solitary bees and wasps,good pollinators.  Couple trellises for cucumbers snuffy |

Nice source of garden poles you have there! I have some long ones that i use to grow those ornamantal scarlet runner beans, and they are great for morning glories too. Your storage solution for the pieces is cool, do the bees nest there in the A frame?

This will be the first year,so don't know how it will work for the bees.Morning glories will surround my garden this year. snuffy |

the neighbors are always wanting bean poles Snuffy. I tell them it is a 'cut your own' farm.
Great uses. My neighbor wove them into his hog wire fence to keep the deer from jumping it.
That worked like a charm. Have seen some expensive deer fences. That one was cheap.
Deer don't get in your stuff Snuffy ?

James,several years ago during severe drouth,they started coming in mine,went and cut over 50 poles,stuck them in my chainlink fence,strung nylon weedeater twine along them.No problem anymore.My cousin across the fence had 150 tomato plants,sold tomatoes every year,the deer cleaned off every blossom off them.I gave her tomatoes to eat.She made nothing.If there is no drouth,no worries with them. snuffy |

It is the same way here. Darn things stay out until the summer drought June thru August. About always dry then.
They must need nutrients or tender damp plants then. You thought of that trick too. My neighbor Mr. Beardon is a
sly old farmer. He knows a lot of tricks too. I spent $$$ and a lot of work to do a 7 foot fence. I finally found a way.
A spot light with motion sensor. The new sensors pick up at 150 feet now. About $49. Took one bulb out and hooked
it up to a big old radio. So when it comes on you get light and noise. for what it's worth

If you are into Morning Glories, you might look at Moon Flowers. Same thing but grow taller and much bigger diameter !
The Lavender colored ones are really beautiful !
