Hi all,
Lurked here for awhile, mostly looking up information on propagating willows (we have many here at our temporary home and I'd like to bring some to our new property). Really appreciate the community and supportive nature of the boards.

Currently living in a log cabin while we set up our forever homestead. Formerly had a 4 acre hobby farm, sold that to buy our dream property. Formerly-formerly worked in tech (software, health tech), mostly remotely. Lived the city life for a decade, happy to be done with that now.

Nowadays I raise my toddler daughter full time. Husband works a tech job from home. We learned most of what we know about this life on the fly. I suppose that's a lot of people's stories.

I write some, about life and nature here: http://changingseasons.substack.com

I love to see more fellow New York Permies!

Welcome, thanks for coming out of lurking.

I live in Washington County, I've just started growing some basket willows myself! So far so good on that front.

I hope to see you in future threads.

Hello Jessica - belated welcome to you!
Did you find the information you needed on willows? In my experience they will grow from any stick in the ground over the winter, heck, they don't even need to be stuck in sometimes and they regrow! Pity, because otherwise they would be a great source of biomass, but I don't need to be weeding willow trees out of my garden beds :)
 
What did you do today to add joy to the world?
