Mine grew to an altitude of about 8-10 inches in their first season.
Your growing season is longer. I assume they will be commensurately
larger. The ones I've seen here at Larry's tree farm (yep, I'm here
again, at play in the groves of the lord) have gotten as tall as 2 to
3 feet in their second season. By the end of their fourth season,
many of them are in the ten to twelve foot range. Have I mentioned
that chestnuts grow FAST!?

fishing season has started in earnest...finally.

Trout season opens first Satruday in May, here. I think I may
actually get out and do some fishing.

trust all is well.

Well, aside from death, taxes, political and economic turmoil, looming
ecological disaster, crime, moral and physical decrepitude and that
ever-pesky graphic proof of the four color theorem......about as well
as can be expected.

You and yours?

give our hellos to becky.

Done.

"ghosts." I like that. It resonates for a variety of reasons.
