Asked the boys to stop work for a minute and look my way - Gary Stewart can be seen in the background on the hill

A couple of the Seniors clip the tags off from the plants

Gary shows them how he wants the plants planted

And now they are on their own as the planting begins

While another Senior mixes soil for the planting process on top of the hill

Nice Job Guys - I am sure it will turn out beautiful

I'll get some more photos later

I knew Anthony Mapes and Jake Langelier and recognized a couple of the other Seniors, but wasn't sure I should use their names without permission

These Seniors were darn good workers - Must be Gary picked the cream of the crop as they got a lot done - I grabbed this photo tonight:

That is cool as all get out.

I was wondering what they were doing with the white fabric in the 1st set of pictures.

Is that fabric or a woven plastic?
