The hops are bursting out of the soil too!
I gave up the bottle years ago, but there is more that you can use hops for than just home brew! Actually, since I've known the guy who runs http://www.highhoppage.com/ his entire life, he gave me a few varieties last year. Now, I am growing my own Chinook and Cascade varieties of Hops.
So far, I'm just growing them in some 5 gallon buckets until we purchase our land and get them a permanent place to grow, but they made it through the winter just fine and may even give us our first home grown hops this year!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
