Mid March to early July - a very living maze

Then...


Now...

The map...

Oh my, how she's grown!

The willow maze and dome have taken off in the past few weeks and sprouted 3 inches of new growth. Compare these pictures with the ones in the post below from Saturday April 2nd - quite a change!

Willow Maze

I know it's not terribly obvious from the photos, but these little sticks in the ground actually are a huge and complicated willow maze. Mum and I planted it two weeks ago. It took three solid back-breaking days. They're only just starting to sprout, but when they do, and get a bit of growth on them, it will look a bit mazier... The maze is on a quarter-acre plot (!) and is really difficult - despite planting the bloody thing, we still got lost, and we were holding the map! It should be a lot of fun on drunken summer nights. The paths are wide enough to get a boat down too, so when it floods in the winter I'll be going round it in my coracle (if I get my coracle - please please please!!). Spinnies anyone?
