I hope the planter is big enough but I'll see, I guess.

True, small doses or be drained of life.

Babies are a bit weird for sure, but I have 2 Great Nephews, 1 & 4 year old boys, and they are a lot of fun (in small doses). I already have them interested in radio control cars XD

A garden of garlic

lol yeah, I was amazed by it too. The leaves are hanging now. I've been told they don't really grow in girth so I guess this is it?

I've been away for 5 days visiting relatives in the north. My niece had another kid, so it was the mandatory visit. I can honestly say I don't like babies, they only eat, sleep, and shit. But not pay anything..aka..the perfect life. Bastards. ;)

I had no idea they grew this big. Are you sure you planted a garlic and not an acorn? XD

Also where have I been this last week!?! I have no idea what I've been doing XD

I had to add support as 53 cm was too much and it was all bendy

It might be a little bit small, but it will only restrict it's overall growth, it won't kill it. I would suggest just keep doing this and see what happens.

You think I need to re-pot it? My knowledge of plants/herbs is none-existing.

Wow, it's pretty speedy!

I don't think it would be too hard to scale up this idea to have larger planters.
