Thank you for the prompt response @gardeningchannel! And okay ...

"The bamboo poles I get from someone who loves local to me, they have them growing in their backyard."

... that is very interesting to know. I'm pretty sure bamboo doesn't grow here in the high country, but I may be wrong on that.

Thank you for the source of your seeds. Once the snow starts flying here (not too long to wait ...), we will then have this winter to do a lot of planning about what we'll attempt in the Spring. With the portion of our yard we managed to get under some wood chip compost ... 😉

P.S. Once I get some higher priority items "checked off" out in the real world, I hope to get back to a little more active posting "in here." At that time, I will be writing posts about what we have done so far ...
