    Snow looks great on the land! Willow fence takes a lot more effort but it's so worth it - looks supberb!

    You get some rotten weather there mate, rarely see snow here on the Cardigan Bay coastline. Fair play to you for getting out in it - and getting on with it!

    I am enjoying watching these so much. You are so lucky to have found such a nice spot, and well done for being so caring about everything and nature. The chance to plant a wild hedge is a special thing, something to watch grow and enjoy. Well done, much joy from watching, and it's also nice watching you as you are nice looking and friendly.

    • @offthegridwales
      @offthegridwales  10 месяцев назад

      Thank you for such kind words and compliment. Makes me smile knowing people genuinely like it all too. I'm most looking forward to laying some of the hedges in about 6 years time. "The best thing we could've done yesterday, was to plant a tree. The next best thing it to plant one today"

    Loved your little compress the soil around the little willows dance!
    Question, with the willows so tiny, is there a risk that your sheep ladies have a bite, a little dessert of willow?
    … and as you can see I have no real clue what sheep’s are eating.

    • @offthegridwales
      @offthegridwales  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hahah YES! So glad someone else noticed it, it was like a little 2 step dance haha. Willow is a natural forage for sheep, which is one of the reasons I planted it. That first section hasn't done well, due to it being a great scratcher. It's all fenced off now :).
