Tallest about 8ft now. Looks like heads starting to form but still growing up for now :-)

Fetch's have grown over 6 feet in seven weeks. I think that the Dills' may have grown by even more.

Mine have grown around a foot. 3' 7" (flowering) and 4' 6" (in soil).

No but I bought them on the way to the market from a strange man. They only cost me two cows
