This was from a handfull of seed that I had saved a couple of years ago. Just tossed them into the woodchip compost and scratched them in a little as a test to see how well they would do.
The stocks were 8-9 feet high with no ferlizer and only watered a couple of times as it was pretty dry when I planted.
I'll be saving the largest and best looking seeds from the largest mammoth heads and roasting a bunch of the others. The birds may get a couple to pick at too.
Next planting will be rowed correctly and the seeds spaced out further to give each plant more room and nutrients. These were grown a little crowded but the did pretty well considering.
