This little guy is our first hazelnut, imported wild from my sister's yard over on Fox Island. It is step one of our long term plan of transitioning to a savanna like polyculture for greater diversity grazing year round. Hops are going in the ground by end of may, and on that note I have been reading Ezra Meeker's "Hop Culture in the United States". It is a phenomenal read from a local historical perspective if not only because I am the uber hop nerd. Love the pioneer spirit.

Just planted a few hops myself...Chinook and Cascade varieties. So excited to see their flowers in my bouquets. I'm just up the road from you & pass by your farm on my way to work...looks like you guys have been busy, busy lately! Happy spring! :)
ReplyDeleteOh hops will be so beautiful in a bouquet. And the Cascades will give it such a wonderful citrus smell. We just opened the final product of last years cascades, a black barleywine. So excited to have more niegbors too!
