A photo of a grassy field with a roof pink and green tree guards along the fence line where a hedge has been planted. Some hawthorn starting to appear above the guards.
Another day of tree and hedge planting at Chew valley farm. 120 whips planted along one hedge line.
Coming to the end of planting season so rushing to get the remaining whips into the ground and patching up tree guards to defend against rabbits and deer.

Photo of a field with many pink tree guards standing where saplings have been planted. Various people working across the field planting or preparing ground.
Had a good day tree planting. We had about 25 people and we planted about 460 whips including Goat willow, spindle, Buckthorn, and some field maple.
Weather was clear, but ground was very muddy.
