do you know the name/names of the varieties you planted? of the varieties i have grown, softnecks have always been smaller plants about 20-26" tall whereas hardnecks are 32-42" tall. but that's here and seattle with cloudy and rainy weather may produce smaller plants. i'm always careful when giving advice to people outside my region.

like henry said, sometimes softnecks will produce bubils in the stalk. this happens often when i grow softnecks. i ignore it.
