This is a gentle piece and most enjoyable. The sequence of building the 'compost' pile was aprticularly delightful. As a labourer on the land, the work is hidden once the yield is realised.
Hello and welcome to France. I have lived here 21 years and worked as a gardener. Bamboo - beware as it can be a real thug! There are many types and if you have one which creeps almost visibly across the lawn overnight you might be best not to put it anywhere else; I cant tell what yours is but just a friendly warning; try and find out - watch its habit; I am in Lot et Garonne and the Hoopoo usually arrives at the Spring solstice - beautiful bird. Bon courage! Jules
@@7TerriPod Europe comprises many countries. In Portugal and England they can be pretty bad. In France, they’re mostly wonderful. I have to say, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard that the conditions of roads is a factor in choosing whether or not to relocate!

Thank you. There's plenty more gardening to come!
Big difference! Well done 🌿
Thank you! 😊
Afterthought- of course you can make wonderful structures with bamboo;
The plan is to make a roof for the pergola.

Many thanks. Lou is an ex-pro gardener, so we're keeping a close eye on the bamboo.
The only reason I’m hesitant to move to Europe from America is the roads there are horrible
