July 5th Scouting
Griffin Hill Blog
An exciting recent development in our nursery which means we will have some cones this year!
Early morning scouting means watching the dew evaporate on this Alpharoma.
Our NY mystery hop variety, affectionately named after our friends who passed them along to us.
They love the Fuggles. I wonder why.
This East Kent Golding just sent up a ropey shoot that is growing by the foot daily.
Such robust side arms developing on this Columbus.
A lot of our baby hop plants came with broken tips. They are recooping fast, sending out side arms with new tips that will soon be climbing up the coir.
Our two Fuggles have grown way beyond the nursery's 8-foot top wire. They started off in April as hearty rhizomes and have just thrived.
This Chinook leaf is about as big as my hand. Not bad for its first year!
These eggs are more than welcome in our hop nursery because ladybugs help control the aphid population.
