Large Scale Operation?
Quite the show, starring a mystery hop
As one can easily see, my hop farm is a large scale operation demanding long hours of tending and care....
.... Not.
My entire crop comes from one root ball planted 3 - 4 years ago. New hops vines have sprouted up year after year and now dominate half of my backyard fence and nearby deck railing. I attached three spruce boughs to the railing earlier in the season, 5 - 6 feet in height, and thanks to good weather and vigorous growth the vines and hop cones now put on quite the show.
Prediction: Happy Hour today at 5 PM will feature a cold lager infused with a half-dozen cones plucked from a vine beside my Happy Hour Lawn Chair. Easy kap-easy.
Soon the majority of cones will be thumb-sized
It's a tough life but somebody's got to do it.
Hop to it. Please link to My Morning Smile 21
