Welcome to Rachel's official blogospace! Once the wiki supports images, this page is gonna be covered in GREEN BAMBOO SHIT! Only it's not shit, it's amazing beauty, because bamboo doesn't poop!

My bamboo is currently growing at an inch per day! But you might be more interested in some history:

I ordered a 4 foot tall bamboo plant off ebay about a year and a half ago, I planted it outside because at the time I was living in the forest. Despite a frigid New York winter, the bamboo jumped right back to life in the spring. The old shoots had died, but the roots were in perfect health. Growing outdoors in New York doesn't provide for the best growing conditions for bamboo, especially without constant sunlight. Despite all that, it grew back to about 3 feet over the summer, completely neglected.

Once the weather started to take a turn for the winter, I decided it'd be best if I rescued my bamboo and brought it to my apartment. It took about a month for a new stalk to start growing, but its growth has been steady ever since.
