Congrats on your new field boss!!! He'll keep you straightened out.
Fields look good. Last year's plot coming in great. If you want to speed up the Norways' growth, sprinkle some 10-10-10 around them next year once they've established their root systems a bit more. I did that at our camp from year 2 through 6 and they shot up pretty well. At year 6 in the ground, they were 7' to 8' tall. Then I topped the leaders a bit so the spruce got thicker branching. It worked well for us. Hope you have great luck with your plantings! You've made a great start.
