New seasons growth...

Getting stuck into a hard working weekend can show fantastic results, a real sense of achievement not to mention the sore muscles, back and blisters! My good friend and I took the maroon Fairlane rocket (cats vs. dogs ABC radio - great commentary!!) to the South East to install some serious infrastructure to our fledgling hop garden.
Hops require water and and some line to grow up, so a frame work is required to get them up and away. Past harvests have been mediocre, due to lack of planning and infrastructure.
Plan: All irrigation to go underground, vertical poles and cross braces to span the width of the garden! Easy... sort of, see for your self!

The person who invented the protective work glove, should be hailed as a genius. Good quality gloves can mean the difference between a productive weekend and a pain full, blistered shambles! I will keep you posted on the progress of the crop!
