Hop and Choke

Sounds like a deranged schoolyard dare…or a sex game.

But no, my life isn’t that interesting. I refer instead to the forage patch.

…which now has very nicely established hops and sun chokes.

A collection of desirable weeds, which one day someone will have to till and poison to get rid of. But for now, they bring me much joy.

Choke on that!

Hop Damn!

The hops are blooming! I hadn’t planned to do any brewing, but I’m getting curious. Maybe I’ll soak some in a cheap beer and see how they impact flavor.

For now though, they’re just cool.
