Have you harvested them yet BB? What quantity will you get and where will you dry them out?

Harvested them yesterday HM, they went up to the 5 gallon mark on a brew bucket, not sure about the weight as I forgot to weigh them :wha: ....not bad I thought for one plant. :thumb:
They're laid on a blanket at the moment in the loft drying.

When you ordered it, how did it come? in a padded envelope?

Yes, it was a rhizome that came in a padded envelope.
I can't believe how it grew once it got going, I got a load of hops reaching the 5 gallon mark on a brew bucket from one plant, getting another next year!

I planted it in February :thumb:
