Last year we purchased a few Chinook Hops rhizomes from our friends at Revolution Farm in the hope of growing a few of our own hops to experiment with while making our own home brew.
After a mis-hap while transplanting them (we just lost one…really …it just disappeared while transplanting the two that had emerged in our little pot), a late freeze and a too late harvest, we wound up with a whole lot of nothing. Â
This year, we are determined to do better.
Luckily, the hops themselves are cooperating and doing incredibly well. Â So, climbing on the roof to tie up the ropes that will support their climbing throughout the summer may not have been a joy, but it was necessary.
Have I mentioned before that I hate getting up on the roof? Â Yeah…it’s a thing.

that’s the beauty of the experiment. sometimes it goes beautifully and sometimes it goes terribly wrong. and then we get to try again. good luck!
Thanks! I do love a good experiment 🙂
RMan would love this so I’m not going to show him… (I can’t have him planting a “stepladder” for snakes to gain easy access the house with LOL)
Lol…yeah…stepladders for snakes sounds like a bad idea all around! It’s too bad though, I bet hops would grow well for you!
