Hop Garden

So, the lack of enthusiasm I received about a hops growing co-op led me to creating my own hop garden.  The pictures are from planting day, and trellis construction day back in April.

Overall, the whole garden was fairly affordable.  The trellis parts cost somewhere around $70, the hops were somewhere around $80, and the rest of the equipment and drip watering system were provided by my step dad.  The trellis poles look pretty flimsy but they've held up well thus far.  They're 18' tall and the wind hasn't blown them over yet.  We'll see how it holds up when there's a lot of heavy hop bines hanging from that twine. :)
