We have our fair share around here too. When they're spreading it - not a day for hanging washing out or leaving windows open. The smell seems to permeate everything.

Don't like underdone haylage either which should really have been silage. Getting the smell out of your hands/clothes is almost impossible.

But, and there is a but, cows do not necessarily like it because it is bitter and if they eat mouldy hay can suffer from 'sweet clover disease'.<br />Thought I would introduce myself Weaver of Grass by finding out obscure facts ;) but it is also in sweet woodruff as well. which has a lovely smell....thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-60290397049684896192013-07-02T06:21:01.417-07:002013-07-02T06:21:01.417-07:00We had that pong here last week.

Mmm the pleasures of country life! Hope we get a bit more sunshine this week - the hay field has just been cut so I expect it will be baled and whisked away soon. -JoTwiglethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851717329658611598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-68497292557573662282013-07-02T05:18:08.532-07:002013-07-02T05:18:08.532-07:00Hope you have a fragrant pomander to hand!

It'll put hairs on your chest, my dad would have said! I am sure the rain will soon take it into the soil, and the pong with it.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I can understand the Farmer still wanting to make his "bit of hay" - nothing smells quite like it and if they made it into perfume, I would wear it.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
