The first day of Planting

Today was the first day of 'planting'. I had to make some alterations to my plan. Firstly, it turned out that the soil is so tough and hard here that without a pickaxe there's no getting in there easily. So I had to resort to using growing bags filled with soil. And secondly, I changed my original plan of having 6 spot with 3 plants to 3 spots with 6 plants. Otherwise it is just way too much work to get it all up the mountain in the next week.

The 3 spots I have chosen now can partly be reached by car (over a terrible road, only meant for off-road vehicles). That way I don't have to carry all the gear all the way up the mountain, but only have to walk the final stretch.

On the pictures you can still see the grey of the bags, but before I left I totally covered them up with tall grass and nature will take care of the rest of the camouflaging.

This batch of the first 6 ladies will have to fend for themselves now. I won't be back for a while here now. Will be a nice surprise to see them again in a few weeks. Will they still be there? Will they have been eaten by deer? Will they have grown? But hey, that's all in the game when you try to grow outside in mother nature. Let's just hope for the best!

(Notice the dog hairs that I placed on the branches of bushes all around the plants!)

I think it seems we can see in the plants that they had a not so easy route until that spot, probably a bumpy road and some shaking while inside the car...

Yup that's what you get, was also kinda warm today, but they are strong ladies, if no deer eats them, they should be okay :)
