Re: progress report

Congratulations, sean! I grew two 110 pounders this year and a third is
still out there putting on the weight, even though it's gotten very cool
and rainy and fall-like now. I think both of us need to make sure we get
some of that real Atlantic Giant seed from Howard Dill next year, then
we'll get the super biggies!
