Hyperbole

This is a collard plant that I put in 5 years ago, in this pot, on the dock. It hasn't been moved in 5 years. Collards are tough plants, they shrug off frosts and excessive heat equally well. But they are meant to be an annual vegetable. This one kept growing. I have harvested the leaves two or three times each year and gotten many a nice meal out of them. It refuses to die. It is just leafing out into it's 6th summer.

The hyperbole is that I tell people that it's the oldest surviving collard in existence. Well....it could be.
