For those who enjoy watching things grow...and maybe eating them.

My established (though by no means large) fruit trees are starting to bloom.

Luckily (and as planned) my weeping Santa Rosa plum is about to bloom...it pollinates my plumcot and Pluerry which also are about to bloom.

What is the fastest growing plant in the world?

Phyllostachys edulis, the mōsō bamboo. A mature plant shoot can grow 3 feet in one day. Bamboo is in the grass family.

I planted a young plant only 1 month ago with a single culm (stalk) about 1/4" dia. and about 50 inches tall. I already have two new culms and one (almost 3/4" dia.) is now 70 in. tall....it grew 10 in. in 2 days. Not bad for a young plant.

In perfect tropical conditions the moso can grow to 100 feet tall and have a diameter of 7 inches.

That bamboo can really get big! I'll try to follow along with your gardening. We're casual gardeners at best, but I'd like to do more with it.

I didn't pay much attention to them so they didn't size that well....with long dry spells over winter.

My first chinese long bean. It's sort of a cross between a cowpea and green bean. It's those crisp green beam looking things you get in Chinese restaurants. Ate my first in an omlette and its a winner.

Picked this one at 18 inches.
