It's interesting to know that hay cannot be cut until the flower seeds have been set. I wonder if that is a new law in our eco- friendly world or just one of the farmers' common sense.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-75034793196153098432010-06-24T15:44:31.121-07:002010-06-24T15:44:31.121-07:00So interesting!

As it got nearer to cutting time we weren't allowed to do that. When we bought our previous house it came with a small field which a local farmer cut. Soon after we moved in he was making hay and our daughters rushed out to help. Ten minutes later the eldest came back, eyes streaming. In all the excitement she had forgotten she suffered from hayfever!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-61500359534909908992010-06-24T12:15:36.886-07:002010-06-24T12:15:36.886-07:00Your meadow is so lovely.
