Don't know what I did differently but am glad I did it. There's hope for me yet! Behind are a marigold & some other pretty flowering plant. The huge one didn't seem to be growing at one point; then all of a sudden seemed to grow all at once. I'll space them out a bit more & feed them like you said. You're awesome, thanks a million.
