Willow and Alder

Collected stems of bright stemmed Alba Britzensis (Coral Bark Willow) and Alder from Castle Cary, the alder will be eaten by the donkeys, the willow given to them in smaller amounts so that they don’t overdose on the naturally occurring aspirin. Will push some of the whips into the ground to supplement the hedges, they’ll root easily if the soil remains wet for a few weeks. Planted rhubarb in the largest pots available, good roots so given enough water should produce lots of tasty stems. The donkeys and sheep were all out in the paddocks, a mild sunny day with light winds.
