Neigh-bours

You often need supports for plants to grow along, which is sometimes a bamboo stick. Well, how about we grow our own?

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world I believe, so it will be interesting to document this. But don't be mistaken -- this is not bamboo! It's Rough Horsetail and I got it from a car boot sale, along with other neat things. However, it's quite similar and, like bamboo, it's an invasive species, can aggressively spread into neighbour gardens, and be quite difficult to permanently remove. So I'll be growing it in pots either way for my permanent supply of sticks!
