Just arrived in the mail are 5lb of chestnuts. These will be planted this week as the seed is perishable. We will sow them directly into their final place on the farm. This way the tap root will not be disturbed by transplanting from the greenhouse or nursery. We have a few furry friends on the farm so we will have to make netting tubes to keep them away from the germinating seeds in the spring. A total of two seeds per place will be sown. We hope to have 60 trees. We will sow some in the greenhouse for spaces that are not ready to be sown now.
