Gardening, growing, planting, experiencing......

Nature, where do I start, the word is not enough to encompass everything that it means to myself and all of you.....

Recently I got the idea to make a Willow circle, so I went to my local Willow tree's and asked for a few pieces of their new growth, which thankfully they permitted as they know my intentions are pure and their family line will continue.......basically new trees equal babies which equals joy!

So I did, I made a Willow circle by measuring out a circle from a stick in the middle and just putting the willow sticks into the ground the same distance away from it. If you didn't know, Willow has a natural rooting compound, and they grow very fast in the right conditions. I was over the moon and thoroughly enjoyed making my Willow circle, so much so, that I decided to make another, but I was in a bit of a rush and ended up not measuring it out properly like the first one and by the time I got halfway, I realised it wasn't a true circle at all, but! It would be a lovely heart! This made me very happy indeed, so here is a photo, I will update you as it grows.......

I love the green of this Banana plant from Lidl!
