collecting plants for what?
I saw an old guy collecting red clover looking like plants,he had a whole bale cut and prised in between the cross bar on his moto.The plants were piled up high,it wouldve been amusing watching him getting his leg over to ride the moto..
anyone know what he was doing with the plants,what was he feeding?

I saw him picking them from next to the new road past yours from La Linea. I wondered at the time why he was picking them

Re: collecting plants for what?
It must be for a horse or something then,I have seen quite a few guys doing it,and after seeing the one with a full bale of it on his bike ,i needed to ask...seems like no one knows Crazy..If dealer was here he would be able to answer my question.

red clover looking like plants Sounds as if its fodder for his donkey.. if not then must be to sell...is it some kind of herb

Possibly sweet peas, long straggly stems and reddish-purple flowers.
Horses and mules are very partial to them, I know mine is.

If it was sweet peas maybe they were for his goats..the farmer who lives next to us told me his goats love them . He used to pick them all the time as a treat for them

Re: collecting plants for what?
maybe they are the spanish equivalent to sweet peas,they arent like our english sweet peas..they are everywhere at the moment in spain,they are purplish flowers with straggly stems like you have described..a big bundle for his ass

Re: collecting plants for what?
no,they dont look anything like that picture.
they are deeper purple,crimson colour,and more like our UK clover heads only they seem longer and more stretched unlike our ball shaped clover petals..
If i can get a pic of them up close i will.

Is it indeed called red clover?
You can buy red clover tablets as a herbal remedy

PP,
This is red clover i think,trifolium pratense
I think it might be for personal use rather than animal use,you can make tea from it.
