I wanted to post an update and say that I promise that I haven't forgotten digging season.

It's supposed to be digging season right now, but we are currently in a state of severe drought. It's been this way for a few months now. We had excessive rain back in July. You'd never know it now though.

We did receive a small amount of rain overnight last night. I dug a test hole again today to check for soil moisture. It's slightly damp less than 3" deep. Beyond that depth and the soil is completely dry.

People have actually asked me before why I don't just water the groves so divisions can be taken. First, I don't have enough garden hoses to reach that far. Secondly, if I did, I doubt the well could push the water that many acres back. Thirdly, if I could get water back there, the groves need more water than my well pump could pump before burning up. That is absolutely not a viable option. What we need is rain. Unfortunately, I don't control the rain.

I have been growing bamboo since 1997 and this is by far the driest for the longest duration I have seen the ground since that time. The groves are doing okay. The leaves were cupped a week or so ago. No full on curling. They are looking better this week.

I'm sorry for the wait, but please bear with us as we too eagerly await any rain that might come our way. I will post here on our page as well as on our website when we are finally able to produce divisions. Thank you for your patience.

I'm ready for summer to be over. My outdoor work has been at a bare minimum over the past 1 - 2 months due to the extreme heat and humidity. It's finally starting to look like this miserable weather could be coming to an end and I'm looking forward to fall!

Digging season will be coming up in a couple of months.
In the meantime, we do have some pre-dug plants available for pickup just in time for this cool down in the weather to make it fit for working outdoors.

I was limited as to what I could see and do on my phone screen. Once I was on my desktop I could see what was going on.
