pulling bamboo

[derien]

I was talking to my brother, Hawk, the other night and when I mentioned the Japanese knotweed he asked if that isn't the stuff that Japanese monks use to meditate on, because if you sit really still and concentrate you can literally watch it grow. And I'm thinking now he might be right. I pulled a double fistful yesterday and did the same again, today. And maybe I just missed them yesterday, but some of them today were nine inches high already. I wonder if it will continue like this forever?

Did they plant this stuff in Edwardian times? Actually, they did a lot of stupid stuff then, so I guess it's probable! :)
