Sorry to hear that Guybrush. Don't worry. They'll hang in there.

Just back from my friend's where I have my hops planted. They're well above the trellis I built, what, three days ago. Crazy.

Good old Cascade. Very hard to kill! Even in the years I don't train them up I get around 30 ounces or so. I should do better this year.

They had it at the Only a few weeks back for their beer festival and I just picked some up at Morningside and Kingston road. Every time I drink it I find s...

I planted them too close and now have some kind of casc-hood thing going on. I got them of...

Right on! I've been meaning to get down to the Amsterdam to get some more... you know... strictly for calibration... hopefully before Christmas!
