Has anyone else started gardening to have more interesting things to add to your homebrew?
Grapes, mint, basil, lemons, coffee, pumpkins, promogartes and figs. I want to try hops, but haven't found a good source for rhizomes in South Africa and its been very dry this year. So it kinda pushing it to keep everything else alive...
somewhat related: when I first moved to Las Vegas my roommate and I stayed with his parents until we could find an apartment. they had 2-3 pomegranate trees in their back yard. they just let the fruits drop and rot on the ground, but dudes mom would buy pomegranates at the grocery store. it was absolutely aggravating.
I know that feeling. One of my friends in town has 12 types of fruit trees in his yard and he doesn't ever pick any of them. We harvest them for him.
for or from? hahaha!! we give a few of our neighbors the fruits we grow but have too much of for us to use. mostly tomatoes and peppers. most herbs we grow are used fresh but I should dry some for use through winter months. I think we grow strawberries for the sake of the birds.
A bit of both. When ever we harvest his fruit trees he always asks for some of the fruits and some of either the beer or wine thats made with them.
most is just for subsistence farming, but some i use for brewing. I grow 4 varieties of hops, rasberries, black berries, elder berries, corn, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, variety of peppers, squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, and watermelons.

We grow em for the slugs. At least I have them in some very pretty matched pots in the garden that are symmetrically placed the way I want them.....sigh.
