Getting the Fields Prepared for Fall Planting

Existing south field with plans for a two more rows this fall. Flags mark 2009 plantings.

Today we laid out the new rows in preparation for our fall plantings.  We’re preparing to plant 1,500 new aronia plants!  Rows will be about 385′ long at the longest point!  It will certainly change the landscape out the window eventually.  It’s amazing when you stop and think about all the work preparing and planting those tiny little plants and what they will look like at maturity.  Oh the miracles of nature!
