We have removed our outdoor bamboo plants, but their ability to spread is legendary. Now we see there are some shoots growing inside the house, in the vents. Looking for the best way to kill or remove these shoots before they grow any more. We plan to repaint the house soon, if that makes any difference.

Hello! I知 in Pennsylvania in zone 6a and am looking for some advice on what I can plant in the front of my house. I would be looking to replace these bushes that came with the home when I bought it. I致e never liked them and feel like they are a bit overcrowded. I do have some iris/gladiolus bulbs that bloom through the year but am looking for something that値l look nice year round instead of what I got now. I知 good at keeping things alive but I知 terrible at planning/designing what will look good. thanks!
