Mike,
All this is part science experiment. I greatly enjoyed when my sons were very young and were assigned science projects. And yet, science and mathematics were my only C+ in high school.
I am recording data and I will follow these plants for the next two years, outside for the summer, and back in the house for the winter.
All of these plants arrived in early October and I prepared a rather wealthy potting mixture with the intention of continuing growth through the winter.
I will write an article soon and detail more the information I have. And of course, after two years, unless I am dead or senile, I will write a much more conclusive report.
I am also experimenting with seed germination. But that is another project.
