Planting Par-tay Recap

In May, we had our first planting par-tay...it was a success!  Here's what we accomplished in three days:

• Grafted 50 rootstock (aka baby trees) and planted them in the nursery.
• Dug 60 holes.
• Planted 48 2-year old apple trees in the orchard.
• Planted over 40 raspberry transplants and 20 asparagus crowns (these will help create a natural fence-line to repel deer).
• Planted over 100 strawberry plants in the front garden.
• Processed a huge pile of wood into woodchips (this helps provide nutrients to tree roots).
