Not sure what section this fits in, but I wanted to share a small project we did to grow hops.
Can’t wait to see how they come up this season!

Nice site!
I planted some in pots and I already have one sprouting up.
Wow…that’s pretty cool. It must have been pretty scary climbing up those trees.
I hang twine from the second story soffit of my house and the hops grow about 15ft up on the twine. I tried it this for the first time last year with okay results. I’ll try again this year. They love to grow up a string.
Thanks guys. Yeah now that spring appears to be here in Maryland (buds are on the trees), I’m starting to water every morning!
Very cool.
I started a “hop co-op” experiment with some friends at work and family. We have five plants at the house and the rest are off site. They give the hops a place to grow, I harvest, they get to come over and drink the results. We’ll see how it goes. This years crop.
