So after having my parents succesfully growing Cascade hops in Rhode Island with pretty good first year harvest, I've decided to give it a try in Florida.
I know that this is not the area to succesfully grow, but I do love a challange.
Key West Brewing has gotten it done this year in Key West, so Why not in the Tampa area. I would like also to give a raised pint to Great Lakes Hops,
who I got the 2 plants from. A really stand up company. Tell Amee I said Hi!
Being planted is Fuggles and Magnum
The temperature is still getting in to the mid 80's to 90's with pockets of rain every once in a while. I planted each crown in buckets, each having 2 cuft of flower potting mix. They are in a screened in patio to help keep bugs at bay.
So with out further booring you, here is the progress so far. I want, like Key West Brewing to keep a weekly photo diary.
