Well, I was beginning to think it would never happen but here's the last one...

We have just finished 1700 trees.
We planted 1000 in a day with about 20 people to help.
The rest where planted over a week.
Great fun and very rewarding.

And my final tally was 816 trees in 5 days - mostly single handed. I did 100 trees completely single handed first day, just over 200 hundred with husband to bash holes and children to help with clips and spirals second day, just over 200 with me and one child (mostly lying around staring at the sky) third day, 200 on third day with husband and I working whilst kids were at school and I finished off with just under a hundred on the fifth day (but needed to bash through hard core for part of it - not the easiest). I never want to see another bare root whip in my life!

It's worth it now they're all coming into leaf, some of them are shooting up, the cherry especially. Thrilled that the alder has finally taken off but still waiting for the aspen and beech
