I mentioned this rose in my previous posts. It pushed itself out of a small hole in the concrete floor. No watering or fertilization even here in dry CA. It will be covered in aphids in spring but no effect on growth or blooms. The best part is the fragrance, like smelling rose water. I did clean it up last year and dead head it a bit which it likes.

For some reason it never occurred to me to harvest the shoots from my neighbor’s fence line bamboo hedge that always spreads to our side. I’ve been letting them grow and then cutting them to be garden stakes, but I don’t need that many garden stakes. I’m gonna try cutting some shoots today!

People here say they should be cooked… we eat them raw for many many years, that’s how we controle bamboo growing.

I have one wild azalea out ahead of the others… some are pink and some white.
These just grow wild in the edge of my back yard. Wish you could smell them… oh so good.

Nice, they’re possibly this species? Rhododendron periclymenoides - Wikipedia
We too have lots of them growing in the edges of our yard, nearby woods, etc… Ours though are later and yellow/red/orange, “Flame” Azaleas: Rhododendron calendulaceum - Wikipedia
Dig up a few and trade? 
@wdingus … here is a good pic of mine.
I grew up hearing these called bush honeysuckle… think it was @blueberry that informed me last year that they were wild azalea.
They are georgious and smell even better than they look.
I have some small bushes… and some 8 to 10 ft tall.

I see you have a pear there.
The deformed leaves and blooms on Liberty and Niedz. may be from your freezes.
