What do I win if i guess correctly? A date with crumpets and tea with Hortense?
-Well, I haven't decided what the reward is and as Hortense will be growing for a very long time I don't think this is a critical issue.
I think maybe six to eight inches a week. That is a beautiful plant. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
May we know the approximate height of your ceiling before we guess?
very high.
not knowing how fast she grows, I think it will take her at least a year. Just guessing. I like the name Hortense--
We will see where Hortense grows this year; perhaps farther than the ceiling. ...Who can say when things start growing.
