I've been meaning to post this since we bundled and hung willow to dry in the loft the first days of June. Last week we got out hay in and Joanna has been cutting and drying stinging nettle, burdock, and brambles. (Sorry, Maggie, I don't have time to look up the Latin names for each of those--hope none are confusing) So glad to have that large loft to store the hay and dry the other plants--and the rabbit space is just beneath it. It seems hard to get everything in when it is in prime condition because it's the same time we're busy with the gardens. This year has been wet which made cutting anything for drying harder--and makes the weeds grow so fast. But I know how much it has helped our winter natural feeding to get a variety of plants harvested this time of year and thought it worth a post on this forum for those just getting started.
Would be interested to hear what others are drying--or growing and feeding now.
