All those bare root stocks took me back to being age 11 when we upped sticks to the country and my dad started a fruit farm. 1500 trees he planted by hand: Victoria plums and 5 varieties of apples. I also remember picking courgettes by moonlight to make sure they were regulation size and not turned into marrows overnight! I wish you all the best with this project!

Thanks for showing us all the progress, I especially liked seeing all the trees stacked up ready like that, or in the bath. Rocket is very cute and I could just picture your breakfast time chaos. Good on you for aiming to become more of a morning person, I also need to get up earlier. But boy, is it hard in winter!

You certainly are working very hard and have done masses in a very short period of time already. You really need to get those trees out of the bathtub though, because you will be needing that to soak in at the end of the day when you are worn out after all the planting!!
