Making a willow raised bed

Very success first attempt at making a willow raised bed

Take a patch of ground

 A pile of logs that have been kindly cut to the right length by a chain saw

Hammer the posts into the ground


Take some willow whips


Weave them around the posts


Alternate the weave


Carry on weaving


 Keep going

Chop the tops off the posts and you have a raised bed


Glad to see spring is here with lambs in the field up the lane. Loads of bunny rabbits running across the lane.

Despite the very bad wind creating a hole in the new polytunnel when the door blew off the seedlings are all coming through and the temperature is 26 degree. Luckily the polytunnel is fixable and still can use it.
