Wednesday Vignette, my bamboo poly tunnel

For the last few weeks Andrew has been busy splitting bamboo, bending it, and lashing it together to make make custom domes I can use to cover (along with frost cloth and plastic) some of my tender plants when arctic weather threatens. He says he was tired of watching me improvise with buckets and pots and whatever else I could find at the last minute. While I certainly appreciate these efforts what he created last weekend took it to another level. I now have a bamboo framework for a custom poly tunnel...

Can you even?

All these little guys are going to be kept dry this winter! Well, as soon as I put plastic over the bamboo...

I'll share photos of that later, right now I just wanted to show the framework. Isn't it fabulous? There are four pieces of rebar that keep it bent in this tunnel shape, you can see two of them in this photo...

Frost cloth under the plastic will also help keep the temperatures up when need be...oh this is gonna be fabulous!
