Day 36: In Which We Are Shocked And Awed

So here's this morning's picture. We've dubbed our first growth "Chute 1." Two other chutes have popped up (Chute 2 and 3, respectively) and while they're still tiny, we're expecting great things.


Chute 1 is totally huge. We've calculated that it's grown an average of four inches/day. The picture below is from this morning:
