I had some hops vines that I bought to trail over my gazebo. I swapped the clusters still on the vines with some pubs for decorations and got either beers or a gift certificate.
When I called a company that sold the plants they asked me what kind I wanted so I told then a couple. When I asked the price they told me "nothing" and it would be free shipping. I asked them how they usually sold the plants they told me "by the acre"
The flowers and the hops are tiny castinets and quite beautiful. In the UK it is a summer tradition for city families to camp out and pick hops in the fall. The smell of drying hops in the oast barnsis everywhere
