[CH] That time of year

Except for a couple days in March, St. Louis weather
has been cold and wet.  Cannot till and cannot plant
yet.

Bamboo shoots came up early in the yard, then went
into a state of suspended animation during the cold
snap.  Some even had that transparent look from being
frozen when I trimmed a few to stir with some pork and
chile.

The big ones in the main grove are awaiting warmer
weather to pop up.  When they do, we shall take them
to the nearby Chinese Restaurant to have their magic
worked on them.  We shall cook a few ourselves.
