50 trees planted

Friday turned out to be very stormy here, so plans to move the soil into the polytunnel and to collect the trees were put on hold. Yesterday morning I travelled to An Ghrian Glas farm and collected a selection of Alder, Oak, Birch, Rowan, Scott's Pine, Hazel and one Crab Apple tree. I only had an hour to start planting and got 16 in the ground before I had to leave. The weather turned wet after that anyway, but this morning was nice and sunny so I went out at 10am and got 23 more planted before I had to go away again. The final 11 were planted when I got back from town, thankfully just before the weather turned wet and windy again. The trees range in size from 20cm to 80cm at the moment. I am looking forward to seeing how they develop over the next few years.
