.: Hop Harvesting

20 August, 2011

It was time to harvest hops this morning. I had five Cascades, one Zeus, and one Magnum variety. First year crop.

Up on the ladder picking off hops:

12 ounces! Which is a lot more than I thought it would be.

One of my plants is ready for harvest tonight -- it's on the end and gets sun from a better angle. I'll probably be picking and drying for about two weeks or so as the rest of the plants mature.; August 22, 2011 at 10:37 AM
