In late summer I managed to capture some scenes of the willow beds. There is not that much to do in summer. The willow is growing. But I like to walk through the beds all year and keep an eye on possible pests and diseases in case I do need to step in. And I like to keep on top of the weeds.
In this video I am pulling briars and taking you through the willow beds. I show you some of the different varieties and I show you the pests and diseases I come across too.
Would you like to grow willow for basket making?
