Great year for giant plants

I didn't break any world records this year, but I broke almost every single personal best for every type of plant that I grow. Of the corn I measured so far, tallest are as follows: (I still have several around 20 feet tall or so to measure so the list will change)

Tehua - 25 feet 9 inches (personal best for tallest corn)
Tehua - 25 feet 2 inches
Tehua - 24 feet 6 inches
Uchima - 23 feet 2 inches (personal best for this race)
Olotillo-Tuxpeno - 22 feet 3 inches. (personal best for this race)
Uchima - 22 feet 3 inches
Olotillo-Tuxpeno 21 feet 1 inch
Montana 19 feet 5 inches
Uchima 19 feet

I also have a personal best for my giant amaranth (Amaranthus australis) at 24 feet 4 inches. I also have a new personal best for my sterile-hybrid amaranth (Amaranthus hybridus X Amaranthus australis) with two plants at 22 feet this year. I also have a new personal best for a Amaranthus hybridus at 19 feet 2 inches. I also had a personal best for Amaranthus cannabinus (tidal marsh amaranth) at 21 feet.

Cool design but image looks very flat form the render would look cool if the mountains in the background where blurred and at a darker tone
