Hops finally arrived!

So, i thought it would be a great idea to actually grow some real hops that we would be able to use for beer! so i looked around online, and actually found a place in BC that sells organic hops!

so dan and i decided which ones to pick, and we decided upon 4 types. Nugget, Willamette, Mt Hood and Cascade. sadly they were out of organic cascade, so we went for the non organic one instead!

so, here the mail arrived today, totally surprising me.

The hops dan planted 3 years ago have finally really shot up this year, they should produce well. the difference really is amazing between the years.
