No possible way to capture with a camera the glories of Randy's garden. Everything is over the top. He hedged a lot on the question of what he feeds everything. Has to be more than the Houston zone 9. His neighbors plants were very ordinary size. Not Randy's. Kind of like "Jack and the Beanstalk".
I have major envy. What I grow in a small pot and pet to keep alive grows above his roof. Have you ever, ever seen a 6-7 inch trunk on a castor bean? Some 15' or better tall? In the past would have called it the magic touch. Know better now that it represents a lot of elbow grease to produce a green thumb.
