Awe, the wonderful things of home ownership!!! Nobody really warns you about the joys before you take the plunge (believe me, we've had our shares over the past 2 years...flooded basement, rotting siding, moles, etc...). And the whole kicker is you cannot pawn your problems off on your landlord anymore, because YOUR him!!!
The past, um lets say "landlords" of our home were obviously very green and planted every kind of exotic plant/tree you can imagine...including bamboo. And gradually we have been literally gutting out our flowerbeds to rid of all the nuisance. However, the bamboo is another story!
Everywhere you read bamboo is cherished, noted for it's beauty, strength, and the fastest growing plant in the world. I can totally attest to ALL of these , but do not feel these are attributes...they are actually the characteristics that give me night terrors and the fault of my insomnia (hence blogging at 3am).
Moral of the story, we came home to little baby sprouts in our backyard no where near the actual plants themselves. We were able to remove them and quickly discard them, but I am deathly afraid that one morning I will awaken to our whole neighborhood being infiltrated with these awful creatures. Are we past the point of inviting all the boys over with pitchforks, shovels and torches??? Is it legal to spray it with gasoline and light a match??? Or do we have to just bite the bullet and hire an excavator?
