We had a couple of social obligations to take care of this
weekend, so we stayed home in Alexandria.
Besides the excellent party we went to and a quiet mothers day, I took
care of a few little chores on the barbeque and brewing front. So this week will feature those errands –
starting today, with a short and sweet post.
I started three hops rhizomes in pots in the backyard this
spring. We’ve had a ton of rain, and not
much sun – as vines, hops like sunny weather, so I’ve been worried. Finally, last week I saw some leaves break
the soil. I have some survivors!
I bought Centenniel, Willamette, and Goldings hops
varieties. If I get crops of these I can
do a lot of brewing, and I figure I can trade a few here and there with Dan and
the other Blue Ridge brewers.
So far though, I’ve only got sprouts from the Willamette and
Goldings vines, no sign yet of the Centenniel.
That’ll be a shame, but I will take what I can get. I’ll put up a post here and there about the
progress of my hopyard.

I will be very interested in the progress of your own hops plants.
Good luck!
