    For a princely sum of 40p I rescued these common hops from the bin! Outside tesco on the last chance shelf. They might be past it but you never know. Will plant them in our new house, since it's got a huge veg plot . They need a good soak and a some feedingn but I may get a bit of beer next year from them.

    What hops are they Blood.

    Grow them up a fence or up the side of your house. They will grow to roof height once established and you might get a few ounces dried.

    The common hops mate. There's a low fence I was going to train it along, or up, along and Over the covered workshop area I'm going to make. The missus has gone and given me her support and blessing to get carving and fettling since a lot of her customers follow my fbk page and have asked for alsorts if stuff

    Well, you wouldn't want to forget the bell end in any important calculation, would you?
