Next working bee

Posted by Lillian on July 12, 2010 at 8:18am
Hi folks, 
I have seen in our email that some (but prob not all) our fruit trees could be ready to pick up in the next few days. 

What are people's thoughts on us picking up the some/few that are there this Sunday morning to plant at our working bee at midday? 

I'm happy to drive but would need an extra set of hands. 

Or, if people feel that we should pick them up in one lot that would be fine too. 

Thoughts?

Cheers, Lillian.

    Yahoo,

    Cool to hear that some of the fruit trees went in and that you discovered the mysterious tenth hole.
    All's well up here. We're doing a lot of work rejuvenating an old family backyard orchard.
    Hope the sun is shining in Welly,

      Hello Wayne,

      Good to hear from you. Yes, we had a great turn out for that working bee, including a group of Vic student volunteers. Many hands really did make light work. Very satisfying. It was cold wet & windy today so I'd be surprised if anyone ventured out.

      Tell Ping I've got her Edo Mame seeds here to be sowed once I get a few clues about best conditions. What sorts of trees are in your orchard?

      So did the trees go in?

      I'm planning on doing some gardening next sunday 1st if any body wants to join me? From 11am?

      Four trees went in! They look fabulous (and they're still there!). All the P trees: 2xplum, pear and peach. Did lots of weeding in secret garden too, and found the 10th tree hole at the orchard. Green fence back and standing at the orchard too.
      Awesome stuff - can't be there on the 1st. Have fun!

      Hi everyone, in case anyone was planning on joining me at kai o te aro tomorrow.. I'm actually not feeling very well and think I am going to have a day off, so I probably won't be there. I might pop in in the afternoon for a bit, but have to see how I go.

    I will not be able to make it to the working bee, dammit, so cannot be an extra set of hands.

    I guess it'll just mean another trip, but it'd be good to get them in the ground (although I am sure a months difference wont matter to the trees).
