The fields have been getting more and more infested with brambles. The animals will eat them when they are new shoots, but if they manage to take hold they won't eat them and then they grow in to massive balls that the animals cannot force their way through.
Doug has spent some of the spring mowing them with the sickle bar on the walk behind tractor.
These brown patches are all that are left of the big big ball of brambles they used to be.
This is the bottom field
Owen's field (there are still some big patches here - the plan is to nibble away at them over the years)
The corner field
This is by the potager where the hops grow.
This is the lawn that I mowed with the hover mower. Doug normally does it but I felt he needed help with the amount of mowing that needs doing at the moment!
I mowed the potager too
The rabbits are busy trying to help out too
