Does anyone here grow hops? I don't know if you can eat them, so
apologies to netnannies, but they sure are good in certain recipes.

This group is called rec.gardens.edible

And since hops are used in beer , I consider them edible . My non-drinking
Mormon Granny had a patch of hops in the back yard . I have no idea why or
what she used them for , but she wouldn't have let them grow if she didn't
have a use for 'em .

The tips of the hops are edible and the hop flowers are used when making
home made yeast. Did she bake her own bread?
