t st tantra Posted May 10, 2003 one of my greatest pleasures as a gardener is to grow from seed a plant taller than myself. as i am slightly vertically challenged[of no consequence to me!] i get this buzz earlier than most! does anyone else share this kind of joy? t s t .

Auxin Posted May 10, 2003 I sure get a big thrill when my tobacco or hot peppers get taller than me, I'm 6 feet (183 cm) tall. Sofar my tallest tobacco plant was 8.5' (259 cm) tall, that was impressive- but a bitch to harvest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted May 11, 2003 I love this leonitis Nepetefolia(...?) it stands at least 3 m tall and is very impressive, even if people say it sucks as a smoke, haven't tried it yet much really...very nice plant... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted May 11, 2003 I am in the last quarter percent of the australian male population to experience this buzz... still waiting for my first cactus to catch up to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted May 12, 2003 i had one of those but i had to cut it down and up to bring it, I wish id got a phot standing next to it but here it is anyway... in its former glory. http://www.shaman-australis.com/publicpics...s/pedroscop.jpg (sniffle) nevermind i now have plenty of cacti the size she was when i planted her - the growth you see is 3 years from about the size of the one in the pot - the 2 side branches werent there when planted either - they are 2 years old from scratch. Come to think of it she put on and extra 20cm on the sidearms between this photo and the cutting - the sidearms were at head height (185cm) and the main pole towered over me.

VINS Posted May 12, 2003 we all like this kind of challenge, growing a plant more big than us from seed. the human body is or size reference from or birthday to now. this years i have not grow hight plants but since i am interested in poppy , i tried to grow on the size of my balls... and since i dicovered the gigantum strains, i am now a really complexed man. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t st tantra Posted May 14, 2003 it seems there was a hidden side to this post,2 much searched for frosty pink buds,one over 3 inches and one over 4 inches were discovered above my head hight and hidden at the back when the largest decided to raise itself to horizontal. t s t .
