ivy treats

As you can see, we have lots of ivy growing on the front of our home. When John closed our storm windows for the season, he trimmed the ivy that was growing in front of them. It looks neat and tidy for now. It won't take long for it to grow back over once again. After John's trim, I picked up all those cuttings and took them to the goats. They LOVE ivy! You can see on the house, on the parts of the plant closest to the ground, it grows sparsely; that's because when we take the goats out to browse, this is one of their favorite spots to stop and munch. They eat it up the wall as far as they can reach.

Going to town on the ivy cuttings.
