Sure you know this, but you know if you now it you have to let clippings rot away completely before putting ponies on it...clippings and horses don't mix at all.......in this autumn weather it will be a pita, cos the moisture and cold will keep it hanging about. . I'd be tempted not to mow but see if you can hold off till the bigger ones can just go out there. It will be standing hay soon once the weather turns won't it? (Thinking hopeful)

you are quite right.. :eek:

soooo i will use tractor mower and keep the box on the back and dump cuttings...;)

this is only back in thier summer paddock... the winter bottom 2 fields are lush too...[800 bales of hay this summer] so am hoping for a frost before they go there... but in theory this paddock will last em longer now so will allow to "turn" the bottom grass... does that make sense ?:rotfl::rotfl:

Think how happy they would be Alfie :rotfl:

LIR I hope that the consultation goes well. Since falling preggers I have not been away from the hospital and now have a wee entertainment pack I take with me for the endless waiting.

I just take my iPad with books for If there is no wifi. Main hospital I go to gas faster Internet than at home, and no one pestering me, frankly, I'd move in there happily some days!

Sorry others are poorly too *hugs* Stinking cold is still winning here after last week's disappointment, although DH is over the worst of it. Apart from that, apathy has set in rather and I think it's just going to take time before any decisions on anything can be reached.

Just take care that chest doesnt get bronchitic. Its always a battle between work and sickness, getting the balance right is a fine judgment

Working from home has its advantages, but its less easy to switch off.

We had a major plague of cabbage whites this summer and the cavalo nero was stripped to its ribs. The butterflies would lay eggs on the brassicas and then feed up on the lavender. Now that the caterpillars are migrating to high points of the house to spin their cocoons I'm hopeful that there will be new growth to provide winter greens
