Kil'r tell Pappy you were resting the good patches this year! That seems the proper answer. Good Lord when you grow on fly ash or reconstituted coal fields one must understand there are good and a little less than great years. :}
....Sorry I missed you at Altoona. I got pretty tired and just slinked in my lawn chair waiting for TC to appear. I was taking notes for next year. :) I live an hour or so West of TC. He is coaching me. Great guy.
