1,000+ miles
by my calculations i broke the 1,000 mark today for miles commuted by bike this year. getting very close to my goal of averaging 3 days out of the week, just hope i can keep it up through the rest of year.
hops - week 18
the experiment continues:
Cascade - planted in outdoor container 12 April 2009 -> 15'+
notes: 1st Harvest was done right after taking these pictures. Above is the south facing side of the bine, below is north facing.
I decided to harvest only the hops that showed a little brown. Still have about this many left on the bine. They definitely had that papery feel. Also there was a fair amount of lupulin (yellow grains) on the inside base of the leaves, which gives it that hoppy smell. These are aparently indicators that they were ready to be picked. Stuck these in the food dehydrator at 100F.
Nugget - planted in indoor container 13 April 2009 -> 30'+
notes: Produced tons of large hops (1.25" long, 1" diameter).
