    well thanks, i am happy with the plants so far - its my first grow, but i have really good soil from years of veggie gardening and making my own compost from horse manure, kitchen scraps, grass cuttings, and shrimp/fish scraps. any guess as to how tall each will grow? right now the PP is 37"...
