I wasted time running around (or rather bussing around, as I have
parked my car due to high insurance/gas charges) to various homeowner
and garden places looking for bamboo stakes for my delicious and
high-yielding snow pea bushes.

Then a light went on over my head. Why not just cut down some
of my too-many bamboo stalks and use them?

Done!

Embarrassing when it takes forever to think outside the box!
