Feb view of the plot



The amount of rain we have had, then gales and snow and ice meant I did wonder how the willow would fair in its first proper winter. I wasn't really worried but the gales had caused me to consider the whips could have snapped off.

As you can see from the photo this wasn't the case and the willow is growing well, well it does love the wet which is a good job. As it was the first year after planting I haven't cut back this year as advised so can only assume it will be mega tall come the end of summer.

Am pleased I planted it as it at least makes the allotment look loved. Am considering some more, but patience and I will be able to plant my cuttings next winter.
