The Wind

I spent part of the day looking at prices for fertilizer and weed mat. Then I picked up my first set of coffee trees. There are 25 per holder and I left them out on a fairly flat area near the garage to get sun and rain.

Then tonight at about 9pm the wind picked up considerable wind. The wind knocked most of them over, but they appear none the worse for wear. I ran out and loaded them back into the truck, in the dark. As I finished, the wind stopped. I am poised to drive somewhere else on the farm if the wind comes back.

Tomorrow I will take delivery of 1060 more mature trees.

Stay tuned…
