Hi Nishiki, you should bring them up here one day and I will give you a few pointers. The mugos look pretty good.

Nishiki, you should definitely make the trip to Craig's if you can, it is well worth it.

Noah it looks like we were a bit late going there. If you want Mugos, they are available but need some time in the ground to put a little weight on. Give me a call.

Cheers,
