    It is lovely to see you again. Thanks to you, I planted a living willow fence this spring and it is growing well now. Your channel is a great inspiration. It is so important to take the time you need. My kids are growing into their adult phase now, too, and moving out. It feels so different and as you described it so well: once everything calms down and you don't need to be so hands-on all the time, you realize HOW tired you really are. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and also your beautiful craft :)

    Hello Hanna! I was just going through my subscriptions and saw a vid by you. Great to see your patch! I have an ongoing issue too will the gauls..I do nip them out as soon as I see them.. My bigger issue is deer. I had to fence/net them out because more and more were coming to the feast! lol . I enjoy seeing your varieties and how you coppice and Pollard. Glad you are well.. Cheers from British Columbia! P.S. Great looking potato patch !!

      I also have deer raiders, I'm hoping just a couple of seasons will help them grow strong enough to survive being munched.

      @@CWorgen5732 Trouble is they browse the tips and thusly destroy the rods we are after...and they are very habitual. I've found that after a time being blocked out they do change habits and go off and browse the native willow I deliberately leave for that purpose.. My olde Dad used to say: Always provide a space for the rats (compost heap in mind ) because then you will always know where they are..!

    Хорошее видео.
    У нас очень жаркий регион. И в этом году много вредителей на Иве. Я не опытный любитель Ивы.
    А у Вас так прекрасно растет Ива.

    Thank you so much for the update video its so nice to see you are happy and healthy!
    I really appreciate the walk through and the chat about the health of the willows, I have also suffered from blight and beetle this year though I cut down and burned my blighted willow as it took over the willow so fast I had no stems not effected
    I am looking forward to purchasing more land in the next few year and I plan to do pollard willow there thanks to seeing your trees and videos

    Lovely to see you again!
    I'm hoping to plant a willow hedge to keep the cows and deer out. We're in a drier climate, we have a few months of no rain or irrigation water, so maybe I'll have to use something that acts similar to willow with a lower water need. And of course, it will need more protection from the grazing animals at first.

    So enjoyed seeing you and your beautiful surroundings. I loved learning with you on your online course and made many wobbly baskets and a few good ones! Life does get busy and I haven’t done any weaving for a while but maybe it’s time to start again !

    Hanna dear, so glad that you are well and taking time for life balance. Your work is brilliant! Take good care of your hands, as repetitive motion can haunt you as you age. Blessings to you and your family. Is there a systemic drench that would eliminate the midges from your crops? So much labor/time to replace affected varieties. XX

    Вредители на растениях это большая неприятность. Я много с ними боролась,но теперь мне 62 года,у меня умер муж и я решила иву покупать для плетения,т.к.выращивать ее больше нет сил. У вас очень красивые глаза и вы большая труженица,я вас уважаю за ваше умение и желаю здоровья и процветания. Привет из Беларуси.
