I thought it would be fun to try planting some hops on the south side of the building. Self-grown hops smell great, look nice and make sense. Plus I can use the hops for flavoring or aroma. I ordered some Hallertauer, Fuggle, Cascade and Tettnang. When it came time to planting them, I quickly realized that I was digging in near solid clay--not the best growing environment. I didn't think anything would grow.
Here was my surprise this morning:
Several of the others have broken ground, so I may have hops yet! I'll update as they grow.
