:ban: Was at a clients house today going over a future job when I noticed she had a garden out back with some tall poles. Immediately I asked if those were for hops to which she replied yes, are you a brewer? I told her that I was just about to order my rhizomes and she said don't pay for root stock , go dig up as much as you want. Ding ding ding!!!!! I asked if she knew the variety and she proceeded to break out a plant location drawing of her garden. She drew this up as to not forget what was in there. Perfect! She had Cascade, Nugget, and a variety she said she has had forever and goes crazy here locally, all about 10 years old, and produce massive amounts of cones she said. I ended up with 15 different root chunks with multiple nodes about 1' long each. They're already putting out vine about 8'' long on most of them so I gotta get my garden going. Just kinda fell in my lap. Love it when you get lucky. Cheers
 
That's funny BK she actually said she planted hops at every place she has lived including the Rockies!!! Keep your eye out for an old hop garden when your out an about!
 
Hey Blender, long time no talk. Yeah she actually told me to help her harvest hers, so I will be back to reap more of the bounty. Wanna come ?

Yes, I would since I won't get much from any that I plant the first year. Let me know.

SPOOKY! or not.

Congrats, and yes, you should have saved the trouble, seduced her and set up camp in her house.
 
Doesn't matter!! She grows hops for fu@k's sake! lol.

OK OK, it does matter. You might ought to take one for the team though if it means unlimited access to her crop.;)
