Oregon update

Growers,
     Well the trip to Reno was a huge success.  No, I didn't win my million,
but I did win something much more important.  My ladyfriend said yes to the
big question.  WAHOO!!!!!!  We started talking about dates for our wedding,
and when my fingers hit weigh-off day, she smiled and before I said a word,
she gave me a simple and uncontestable "I don't want an orange wedding".  She
is right I guess, a pumpkin colored dress wouldn't look so good.
     My excitement wasn't hampered when I got home, for the plants have grown
very well.  The weather has cooled somewhat, but it hasn't slowed their
growth much.
Site #1-  The transplanted #627.5:  Doing great.   Has put up a nice runner
now about 24 inches long.  It is still sticking up in the air, but is finally
starting to lean.  The stem is getting thicker and thicker.  

Site #2-  The #827:  Has a yard long main runner now with a foot long second
runner.  It is definately giving chase to the 627.5 in site #4.  Plant looks
very nice, and healthy.

Site #3-  The #850.5:  Still a weird looking duck.  Has a two foot main
runner whic is at least a double runner.  It is a little over 3" thick now.
 In 1995 I documented a runner on my #696 Holland which ended up being 27
inches wide and 6 inches thick.  This runner on the 850 looks very similar to
how the one in 95 started.  The rest of the plant looks normal where new
growth is starting, so I think I will keep it after all.

Site #4-  The #627.5:   WOW.  Largest leaf is 21 "
