i liked this pic. everything in the patch is filling up nicely!! we are doing some experimental pruning methods this year so i am excited to see how that turns out. actually we dont have any "traditional" christmas trees going; everything is a little different in it's own sense.

this year since we were travelling out west, we decided to share plants and only do 7. WHAT WERE WE THINKING?!!! SHARE !??? everytime we worked in the patch together nick would end up yelling at me that everything i was doing was wrong (if you all doesnt know, he has grown a bigger pumpkin than me...howEVER, i've grown 2 over 1000 and he's only grown one). anyWHO. after me being frustrated to the point of no longer being able to take it, we split the plants. i was to the point of saying "wow if we are married after this season, then we will be married a long time because this is a true test". he was a totally jerk / grump to me!!

i have the southern 3 and he has the northern 4. the southern 3 have better soil, but i have a gut feeling the northern 4 have the better genetics (felt this since day 1). we have a system of who will claim which when weighoff comes. we will see how this goes!
