Cascade Hops

Farmer J spent several years in the Czech Republic, a country famous for producing great beer. Hops plants are trained on wire and in Moravia, the tall, graceful vines can be seen growing in the fields. When she discovered a local home brewer who grew his own hops, she set out to purchase a few plants. From the selections he had, she chose Cascade and Chinook.  In their second year in TomatoTown, they are flourishing. This year, strong winds knocked them about, however, both varieties have proven to be hardy plants in this region.
