Used to live down there on the south coast, I've had to relearn all my gardening now I'm in Wales.
Completely different climate. ;D

Bloody awful innit?


I feel like I'm farming in a desert.


Having said that, I have one normally boggy 10ac (ish)field on a water meadow that has been dry all summer and has grown enough grass to keep 73 ewes from March-now.  :excited:

What breed are they? Cluns or Shropshires - they look like Cluns to me but I may be wrong. But very nice looking flock x

Sheep are looking very well - can't say the same for the grass!

Hi Feldar
...... your ewes look lovely :thumbsup: ,
..... we graze mashland, which is as hard as a rock at the moment ! :-\  , but I must say, the cattle and sheep do still look well ,...... :thinking: I guess the dry grass must still hold a good nutritional  content

They are Hampshires, but there is a couple of open faced ones in there so they do look like Shropshires!
