Well, today I took the boys out to the farm and Juanita, Andrew, Dad and I planted the proteas.
There are 54 proteas... 9 varieties, 6 of each. We planted em in 9 rows with dripper irrigation, and it took maybe 2 or 3 hours. By the end of it I was nice and sunburnt, cos it was a fairly warm day!
The proteas look really healthy and I reckon they'll thrive in their new location. Over the next year or two, we'll know from these trial varieties which will be most productive in our region, and from there we can decide if it's worth throwing in a couple of hundred of em.
