Beautiful hop cones
« on: August 12, 2013, 03:47:12 PM »
Took a great pic (at least I think so anyway!) of a few full hop cones growing in the back yard.  Thought I'd share.

 :lol: 

I'm starting to think that I have 1 nugget and 4 cascades...the other 4 are all the same size leaves and cones...the nugget is out growing the others by double  the size of leaves and cones for sure.
