Recognizing that the word "fun" is use loosely as an oxymoron.

A few vines is fun, a hedge row of vines is teetering on fun, 1.5 acres is more work than a sweat shop in the Amazon for wool coats.

Fun? The money and hours of work and bug destruction was not much fun. Seeing the prices drop for commercial hops while in the end phase of first year growing made me cry with tears of joy and pain.

Ok it's pretty cool to watch them grow, beyond that I'd rather brew with known AA values and leave that to the pro's.
