this strain of grass grows in a couple places on our property, and i think is grows as much as 1/4 inch per hour in late April, early May. I put a measuring stick next to it to see.

Imagine the amount of CO2 its processing to assemble the carbon structures of its blades that quickly.

Impressive. Tomato plants, I recently learned from experience, grow impressively fast imo. Way faster than most things I've paid attention to. Thought I'd share lol

Oh wow, looked it up and seems it's one of fastest. Efficient photosynthesis and efficient "culm structure" (hollow tube plus diaphragm) are cited as primary reasons.

Tomatoes definitely give off signs of hard work. Constantly sweating and thirsty. Perhaps even noticeable heat, though hard to be sure; could be just more humid near plant or something
