My wife made me garden this morning. I was not gruntled (that is, disgruntled). Long ago, I’d planted some sasa, a diminutive type of bamboo - as is often the case, choose your kanji - 笹、篠、筱、筿 - to shield our window. (Apparently, bamboo have pachymorph rhizomes that develop into a new culm such that they’ll sprout meters away, having traversed under the asphalt), and they drop a lot of leaves, which I have to pick out one by one from between the gaps in the bricks. This is what led me not to be gruntled. But I am happy that the sasa is doing well - it will no doubt outlive me. - William http://bamboo-identification.co.uk/html/rhizomes.html
