My Next Step....

Well, Cathy and I have been kicking around the idea of eating healthier with a leaning to more natural foods. We started this last fall by going to the farmers market a lot (Those were great canning tomatoes Uncle Dick and Aunt Caroline..we still have your basket!!), and we canned about 30 quarts of tomatoes, and froze a lot of corn, peppers, etc.

This year we are going to start a garden to help support that and such, and I came across an article about growing hops in containers, as opposed to planting them in the dirt and making an elaborate trellis system and such. So after some research, I went ahead and ordered some hop rhizomes. I'll get some pictures up when they arrive and the planting system I use. I ordered 2 Kent Golding rhizomes, 1 Cascade rhizome, and 1 Mt. Hood rhizome.
