Feed me, Seymour!!


I've been growing hops for a few years now, but this year is a bit different. I've got my usual plants growing up an arch in my back garden--





But this summer I have another hops plant in my new greenhouse. What a difference! This plant is so lush and full, and it's spreading all over the greenhouse. I'm reminded of the man eating plant in "Little Shop of Horrors" that sings, "Feed me, Seymour!!"






I can't wait to harvest this vine once the hops comes are formed. I don't make beer, but I do love the hops garlands that decorate pubs and cottages in the south of England. 



I'll post an update when this vine is ready for harvest!
