Just a wierd sidebar- to get lots of little sprouts to grow on the
single stalk, did you know that they hire workers to go out and whop
them on top with baseball bats???! There is a farmer near me and I saw a
bunch of gus out hitting poor defenseless plants-I stopped and asked
what they were doing,, the mind boggles!

but it would be a great way for stick jocks to make a few extra
sheckles, i guess
