bidh mi planntachadh croabh a- maireach/ i will be planting trees tomorrow (corrections welcome!)

[Thrissel]

Bidh mi a' planntachadh chraobhan a-màireach.

But I think (chan eil mi cinnteach!) that "planntaich" is only used with some larger projects, like planting a whole new nursery or something like that, and the usual general term is cuir, so I would say Bidh mi a' cur chraobhan a-màireach.

[Angus33]

Tha shin gle mhath!/ Thats great!

Tomorrow's my son's birthday but we're having a party today. There'll be chocolate cake. That's funny, because my wife's a dentist and the party'll be at her office!

Tha e aon bliadhna a dh' aois; tha a bhràthair ceithir bliadhna a dh' aois. Bidh iad aig an oifis sin gach latha. Chan eil eagal orra idir.

He's one year old; his brother is four. They're at the clinic every day. They're not afraid at all.

[poor_mouse]

'S e clann glè mhath 's ghlic a tha annta!

They are good and clever children!
