Talking of hop gardens, the other day I was wandering around a bit of my garden I don't often visit, and I found wild hops growing up one of my apples trees. I certainly didn't put them there, I have no idea what variety they are, but they were very fragrant and a pleasant surprise - I might well make some homebrew with them next year if they come back. Has anyone else found wild hops on apple trees before?
They'll climb up anything! They'll probably be a "seedling", ie not a named variety, but could well be useful: a retired hopgrower near here is propagating a hop found in the hedge, and Old Dairy are using it in their occasional "Wild Hop". Not bad, as I recall.Originally Posted by ETA

Saw the neighbour tidying up his roadside garden-Admiral, I think. Start of the hopgrower's year.

Drove past the National Trust run hopgardens at Finchcocks and Little Scotney. The Teise had burst its banks, and flooding was widespread.

Do you think a hop shortage might cause a hipster shortage? Please, God !!
