My Hops Order Is On Its Way...
I've got four different varieties of hops vines on the way, and due this weekend, so it is time to buy some 4" x 4" x 8' posts and sink them into the ground at either end of two of my garden beds, and set up the wire trellises. I'll foot them 18" into some Quickcrete.
As well, I am going to build a couple of 1'x 4' raised bed boxes just for the hops rhizomes to grow in. The hope is to have the hops grow along the wires, and by the time the Mid-South summer sun starts getting unbearable, they will help to provide some cooling shade to the veggies growing below. It looks like more storms this weekend, so, this project might happen next week end.
