Looking Good George is this ahead of last years in fact all your

Ahead of all years so far but too early to see if it will beat the 641 (1993)
in sustained growth rates. I will not know that until it reaches 76". What
is encouraging is that they are both doing great, which may mean all of the
soil enhancements might have paid off. But as we all know anything can
happen, good or bad. Can't figure out where the barking dog or meow sounds
are coming from though. :-)
