hill cane harvest begins
Pat B:
Like every morning, I took my dogs for a walk this morning. Along our driveway we have a few clumps of hill cane(Arundaneria appalachiana) growing and this morning I collected these. I walked into a clump of cane, squatted down and collected these 16 culms from right around me. After a few years of management, I think it's gonna be a good year. ;) 8)
There are a few folks out there that I have promised cane to this year. If you see this, please send me a PM if you are one of them. You other guys don't try to slip one past me! >:( If I get plenty, I will offer up bundles of cane on the Trading Post later.
This is the first I have collected for the 2009 season. I also plan to collect sourwood shoots for those that are interested. I'll post about them after I begin collecting them.

Looks like some good shafts there Pat. I've been driving past clumps of Jap arrow boo here in the hurricane destruction zone for the past week and haven't snipped a one, also palm trees laying around everywhere. I'm going home in the morning and am ashamed for not gathering. I did however get a bucket of chert out of the jobsite - just thinking out loud..
