Re: Tale From the Dragon's Keep
Vince,(Diana),
You sure have away with words. Should be another entertaining year reading
your posts. My 846 is 3 feet out, I started May 5th and has leaves 20 inches
across, my 1056 dueck is 6 feet out with leaves 23 inches across and growing
6 inches a day with 1 foot secondaries. Cold wet weather hasn't really
affected me my mini greenhouses are heated and have soil heating cables in
ground. Should be a interesting year.
