Yesterday Jim (the tough guy in the photo) and I dug up a huge chunk of my parents lawn to make way for my hops. This all came about after a conversation last week with my mom – the green thumb – about possibly doing this next year. To my surprise she suggested we could still do it now as long as they were planted within a week or two. I got Fuggle, Nugget and Cascade (one of each for now, I think next year I will double up for six total plants). Next up is building a trellis or lattice system to help support what hopefully will become 15 ft. of floral goodness. We’ll see how this goes…
