tree planting part 2

it was sunny in the morning, just about. but as we were making our way (laura, pat and i with kids and others of her community) there was hail, then snow, sleet and it continued on and on. but i was determined to plant the trees, i got more muddy than last time but me and pat worked as a team (she made laura do one tree, meaning just stand there whilst we did it) and got 12 done (or thereabouts, half before lunch and half after). it was a place near marple/stockport called mellor, on their recreation grounds. i was full of snot and kept wiping my nose on my sleeve and gloves, everyone was a lil like that though. and this time we covered the mulch mat with mulch and tied a protective cover around the tree this time too. it was cold af, but apart from mostly continuous rain, sleet, hail and snow, the sun came out after lunch. i was blessed to get dirt stuck under my nails, be in my body once more completely and do some hard graft. i loved giving back to the earth. we planted different native trees like oak and hawthorn. everything will be amazing when it is flourishing.
