The way I measure

We all have out ways of measuring the height of our plants.  Be it a stick placed next to it.  A ruler.  Or like me, family members

Last year it was Buddy dog.  Sitting still allowing me to show off the height of my corn.  Realizing of course that not everyone knows Buddy but that many do understand the height of a Chocolate lab that at the time was 4 years old.

Earlier this spring I decided to use my son instead as I can have him stand next to what I wish to measure and stand a certain way.  Much easier to control a picture with a walking and talking 4 year old boy than a 4 year old dog.

I took this picture today.  Hard to believe that this picture was taken 1 month and 2 days after the one above.  Guess we know what grows faster around this house.  Clearly I am not feeding my son the right stuff.  Wait if he grew this fast I wouldn't have money for my garden as it would go for his clothes.
