Well my hops survived months of trials that included wind and rain storms, aphids and flea beetles, and came through without any diseases or fungi.
Harvested my Willamettes and Mt. Hoods with the bulk of my hops, the Cascades soon to be picked any day now.
Then my neighbor contracts a guy to come out and spray his cedar fence with some "oil". Of course, I didn't spot him until he was almost finished but the spray was going EVERYWHERE ..including on myself and on my soon-to-be picked Cascade hops.
I went out to see what was going on and in the midst of all the oil vapor from the spray gun, he says "I should be wearing a mask".
I told him about my hops and that they were close to picking and I didn't want the spray he was using on the fence to get on the hops.
He said it wouldn't do anything but I told him (again) that I will be using the hops in a beer in a few days.
"Well if it tastes like oil, you'll know why", he actually says.
