Have you ever tried to grow hops in your area? We were part of a study that a bunch of NC State students did out that way. Seems that they did quite well but it sure is a big undertaking. We planted some in Cary with no success at all. Had some in the store and the cat ate them. It was still fun to play with. Do you mean after it was dead or did it survive the meal with some bad breath? D |

Steve- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Steve, what varieties are you experimenting with and whats your results been so far? This is only our third year. So far the best production has been from Nugget and an heirloom Hallertau mittlefru. Columbus and Centennial have been slow growers. Newport has done fairly well, but the flavor is lacking. I can't remember the others just now, we have 10-12 varieties. Would give the left cahonne for some Simcoe, Amarillo and/or Citra! I'm exhausted, been out hunting morels most of the day. It's a good tired though, got about 3 pounds! Steve |

*Would give the left
cahonne for some Simcoe, Amarillo and/or Citra! Ya, you might have to put the right one on the table as well. I did a quick peek at a few places here for your varieties and demand, if they had it, seems as high as ever. Lots of chatter that some big orders came in. I'm exhausted, been out hunting morels most of the day. It's a good tired though, got about 3 pounds! You old dog you...ya just had to rub it in! Hell, I would give your left cajone for just a lb of those. A bit rare here. Might have to research feasibility of cultivating them again. |
