My seedlings are fully leafed-out and huge, being only 15 month old plants. Well, I say "huge", but in fact these are the first two I have ever grown from seed, so what do I know? The first picture shows all the seedling in September, 2014 (those two oldest seedlings are in the forefront and are 28" and 32" tall). The last pictures were taken early this week of those same two. One is over 4' tall and the other just under 4' tall.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
