We waited a few days and watched to see where the bamboo returned. It's fast. You *think* you've got all of the roots in one particular spot, but you really didn't.
This is part of the area we cleaned last week
It looks awful.
Nothing a few new plants won't help fix.
They look so small. The others were planted only 3 summers ago. they were originally the same size and they have grown considerably and quickly. We did lose one of the originals. I tried to keep it alive. Half still had leaves and flowers. This year the leaves are even fewer and I don't see any flowers. Of course it would be one of the ones near the top by the driveway.

This is not the final view. We want to paint the gas meter brown so it's not as obvious, add more stones along the front of the new mulched section, remove the pine trees, and continue raking out the bank.
It's going to take more than one spring.
It's always something!
