The Planting Gang

Ness with Lauren,Hen,Son in law Rob and Carl.We enjoyed the time with a few memorable sing songs. It take a few days with some cold starts and lovely sunny weather to keep us warm.The trays are filled with the rose stocks and as the tractor moves slowly on we feed the turning wheel one rose at a time.Each of these rows in the field takes about 2000 plants.Trevor always drives the tractor as there is quite a skill in getting nice straight line.Take a look at the blog this summer and see how they grow.Look out for the odd Hare or Deer amongst the roses.
