Hops!

I love getting out of the house early and doing something productive.  Yesterday morning, I took a nice drive through some detoured roads in Colchester up to Fairfax and picked some hops from Lynn & Geoff's house!

We believe they are Willamette hops, but I'm not 100% certain.

Even after watching videos of hop harvesting, I didn't realize that they were a tad sticky and after two, 1-gallon freezer bags, my fingers were quite sticky.

Nate, Sam, Tor and I will be doing two batches on Labor Day.  Hopefully we'll be able to put them to good use.
