Hopalicious

I couple months ago I happen to be at my local brew shop and they were selling fresh hop rhizomes. I thought hell why not? In a couple years I could be brewing homemade beer using home grown hops ! I bought 3 cascade and 2 golding rhizomes which were all they had of these particular types. Turns out 1 golding died when the vine somehow snapped at the base, and 1 cascade was eaten by an animal. Still I managed to grow 2 vines per type. My first hop cone grew in a few days ago on one of the cascade vines so I had to take a picture. I'm really glad I decided to plant these.
