Farm Planting a big success!

A big thankyou to all those planters who braved a day when we really all felt like staying in bed.  There are now 750 plants in the ground which will make mincemeat of the North-westerlies that we were battling on the day.  For those who couldn’t make it see the attached photos to see the transformation.
 
A special thankyou to the Clampetts for their fabulous soup van which makes such a wonderful warm addition to our planting days, and to the soup makers Gillian, Jackie, Francois and Elizabeth.  Also, how can I say enough about those folk lugging mulch – the mulching finished at 4 pm so it was a big day. I hope our plants are grateful and reward us well.
 
And won’t we enjoy the rain this week that much more!
