" WE CAN GROW OUR OWN SMOKE & OUR OWN WHISKEY TOO! AINT TOO MUCH THESE OLD BOYS CANT DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long live the Victory Garden! I will NOT pay for what I CAN grow. Reduce food (and beer) miles. Home beer is kinda like  some other thing I think you know what I mean when I say the  worst I ever had WAS GOOD!

Just like your ol' gal Mary Jane, only female hop plants produce cones and if male plants are lurking about, the cones become seeded. Most brewers prefer seedless hops. Wherever you get rhizomes, be sure they are female.

You can't get the rhizomes until next spring, but this company sells LOTS of varieties.
