The permanent pasture at Tymawr Farm in June 2012 is composed of several species:
Nettles
Thistles
Docks (Giant Variety!)
Buttercups
We also have a cracking crop of ferns in one field!
I'm sure I've seen grass in places, and also some red clover, so maybe all is not lost. Having said that, I'm afraid that turning this into the perfect pasture I dream about is going to be a life's work!

Another feature which needs to be addressed is drainage I think - this photo was taken towards the end of a dry day after a wet night - not good! I've read about 'mole drainers' and 'sub-soilers' but think I need some professional advice and a holistic plan that we can work on in a phased way over several years.
The drainage!
