We must have had a mild       winter, because it was still alive in the spring. I transplanted it to a       sunnier bed, and it grew like gangbusters. It grew into gigantic plants,       maybe 15 inches or more tall with 6-8 inch leaves.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
