hay

  • Rhydd Barn field

    The small field immediately in front of the Barn was full of attractive wild flowers one month ago. This field is a natural meadow, not treated with fertiliser.

    This week the meadow has been cut for hay.

    Below are photos of the field as it was in May and as it is now.

    My sister sent me this photograph of the field in front of the Barn. The long grass has just been cut for hay. Here is the photo:

  • Landscaping around Rhydd Barn

    The small garden by the side of the entrance drive to Rhydd Barn has been re-landscaped with interesting plants surrounded by wood chips on the soil to suppress weeds and retain moisture. A new clematis has been planted in a pot at the back of the patio by the converted pigsty which should climb up the wall and around the trellis above. The fields in front of the barn have been cut for hay and bales made (see photos) resulting in a change in the landscape.Hay bales
