Update on the Hollyhock.
Measured it yesterday. It's now 13 feet 3 inches tall.
I hope it makes 14 feet.
I've never grown them before and now I know how they grow I reckon I can get them even taller next year, weather permitting.
The tallest hollyhock, as reported in the "Guinness Book of World Records," was
19 feet, 7 inches, grown by George Palmer of West Clandon, Surrey, in 1978
That'll be a challenge lol lol
