Thought I would show you all the current size of my Amaranth-

I am 5'7" tall with long arms. (great hugs!)
When I stand right next to this plant and raise my arm all the way up--
right now we are even. But--it is still growing...and growing...
The flower at the top will also stick up soon--adding to the height.

The trunk at the bottom is the size of the white part of a leek.

I have to find someone to take a picture of me and the plant.

All this from ONE tiny seed--just a hair bigger than the period on this Post.....

2--My Cukes are climbing up my shed!! Picked a big one right near the top today.
it was hiding...so it grew a bit bigger than I would have wanted it to.

3--Brazilian Plume flower. This is the mama plant.
