C macheted [cut down with a machete] all the thistles in the back field, which is a good thing since now the 9 llamas can tromp on them.
Too many llamas for that space, the ground is hard as rock, nothing will grow there unless we plow, water, seed, water and let it rest. Sans-llamas for a while. The beautiful babies break out and head for the softer, greener grass ... on the other side of the fence! Nevertheless. the llamas wont eat the tops or middles of the thistles. Such incredibly stunning plants, not too tasty though.
Thistles: Not served for lunch at dear lizzie's. Had a blast with Noelle O and her beautiful baby boy C with my baby girl M.
Will post about the house soon. Colors.
Thistle has medicinal benefits. I'll have to check my herb book to be reminded of what they are.
ReplyDeletei love how much physical space is captured in that photograph with the thistle in the foreground. your land is vast. (and what kind of camera are you using?)
ReplyDeleteI want to see the llamas!
