The strawberries are planted in October of every year. The plants are a cold weather plant.  The entire planting process takes five people, four people plant each plug by hand and then there is a tractor driver.  The equipment that aids in the planting process consist of a large tank filled with water and a large wheel that punches holes in the plastic.  As the holes are being formed, the tank releases water, which makes planting the plugs eaiser. 
 
 
 
 
Getting ready to plant the strawberries! We are laying the plastic, which has to be replaced each season.
