Day 1: In Which We Meet Rufus

Today was a big day. It was the first on our quest to create a wall of living bamboo. We have dubbed this quest, Project Bambusa!

We met the operative for lunch. He goes by the name of Rufus. He claims that bamboo grows in his backyard and that he'd be willing to let us come and dig some up. We settle on next week. Rufus, by the way, is a Little Dude.

Back at the office, more questions arise regarding how we will house the bamboo once it comes into our possession. We settle on building a 24x24 box, complete with drainage. Rufus told us that we should expect new shoots to pop up in early spring, so we're thinking that this box will be big enough.
