Current status of that mysterious giant marigold:
Current total height: twenty-nine inches, with some branching starting at about 25 inches.
The tallest branch (rising above the rest of the plant) has branched as well.
Gary, Monika, Flip, perhaps it's now a race between when it blooms and the first killing frost.
But will try to keep it protected for a while.
That top bit was curled and looked a bit like a question mark but we moved the plant into the sun and it's straightening out.
Today.
