Other important news: We have hop rhizomes (these are the root cuttings of hop plants that grow once planted) and you have to plant them this month if you want them to grow! We have Cascade, Mt. Hood, Galena, Kent Golding, Willamette and Chinook. They sell for $3.75 each. (If you mention you received this email you will be able to buy them for just $2.99.)
