0:05:28 > 0:05:33- I'm transplanting - some cabbage seedlings.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39- They were sown in the trays - before being moved to these cells.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- These will grow in the cells - until they are quite strong.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- They spend a fortnight - hardening-off outside...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- ..before being planted in the land.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- We've had hail and it's cold - this morning.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- This is the worst March - that I can remember.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05- We have two good days - where spring is in the air...
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- ..but you get - heavy rainfall overnight.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17- This prevents the soil - from drying out.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- We need south-easterly wind - to dry it properly.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28- Medwyn is a champion with 11 gold - medals in the Chelsea Flower Show.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Yes, and it's quite unique.

0:37:56 > 0:38:02- The old milk stands are a reminder - of the past in rural Wales.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09- As people forget about the period, - one man from Aberystwyth...
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- ..is eager to take hold of this - piece history before it's too late.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Rhodri Gomer - has been to find out more.
0:38:17 > 0:38:23- People pass these old ruins - every day without realizing it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- But sadly, the old milk stands of - rural Wales are fast disappearing.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Some of them like this one in Cwm - Pedol are swallowed by vegetation.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43- Some have completely vanished - and others have become ruins.
0:38:44 > 0:38:50- There are ones like this one at the - end of my road that lurk in hedges.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- These stone, bricks - and cement platforms...
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- ..reflect an agricultural world - that no longer exists.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- An Aberystwyth lecturer insists we - document them before its too late.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- The challenge is to map every - milk stand in the Ceredigion area.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- We stopped at Ceredigion - due to its convenient border.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- They're dotted around the place in - Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
0:39:27 > 0:39:33- Only 25% of Ceredigion has been - covered and 220 have been noted.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- The milk stands era - was over in the late 1970s...
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- ..as agricultural methods changed - and dairy farms expanded in size.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- But for 50 years prior to this, - they were a prominent rural image.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- What was the purpose - of these stands?
0:39:55 > 0:40:00- Milk was cooled, poured into churns - and delivered to the stands here.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Everyone built a milk stand.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- There was a milk stand - at the end of everyone's road.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- A lorry arrived here at 8.15am - and we missed it.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- It wasn't because we woke up late, - but a calf was being delivered!
0:40:17 > 0:40:23- Sheep and beef cattle grazed on the - Gwynfe and Llanddeusant hillsides.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- The Co-Op in Llanwrda asked farmers - to leave two churns on the stand...
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- ..so they became dairy farmers.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38- Almost every farm had a milk stand - to indicate they were dairy farmers.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- During my father's era, - they didn't use milk stands.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- They used a pony and trap - to carry large 18-gallon churns.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- They delivered the milk with - their cobs to the nearby station.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59- We delivered milk from - Dolaucothi Farm to Penyrheol.
0:41:00 > 0:41:06- We'd call in the local Co-op - to collect some essentials.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16- Five or six farmers would gather, - deliver milk and socialize.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- They're not interesting to look at, - but more of a reminder...
0:41:25 > 0:41:31- ..of living in an area - steeped with agriculturual customs.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Dr Owen is concentrating on the - Ceredigion area at the moment...
0:41:39 > 0:41:45- ..but hopes that more people will - take a further interest in his work.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- If anyone would like to have - more details about the project...
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- ..they can contact him via email, - or Google milk stands in Ceredigion.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59- These milk stands may just be a heap - of bricks, stones and concrete...
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- ..but they're ruins - from a bygone farming era...
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- ..that deserve to be celebrate - and restored to their former glory.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- If anything, - it signifies that we're still here.
0:42:17 > 0:42:23- That's a great story.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- The Rhondda boy, Sion Tomos Owen - and rugby player, Dyddgu Hywel...

0:43:22 > 0:43:25- That's all we have time for today.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- We leave you with Martyn Rowlands - and the song, Byw Hebdda Ti.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30- Until tomorrow, goodnight.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35- # Oh, hold me, never let me go
0:43:37 > 0:43:44- # You're my treasure, - the greatest treasure of all
0:43:46 > 0:43:54- # But it's difficult - because I can't be with you, oh
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- # But you're always on my mind
0:43:58 > 0:43:59- # Oh
