I have a new, and potentially intimidating test going on at home this week. To keep two of my plants from developing multiple main stalks I had to cut from both plants a section of plant about 2" tall.
For the heck of it I took them in the house and put them in water, I figured they would look nice on the kitchen table for a while and then after they started to die I would toss them. Well to my surprise, it looks like, although I'M NOT SURE YET, but it looks like one of them is going to root. If this is true, that means I have 4-more plants that need to find a place to grow....

As always John, you are indeed welcome over
Beer flowing is a ways off, hops is only one of many ingrediants needed. The 1st part of my eveil plan is to see what is involved in harvesting them and if I can develop and of the mocrobrewerioes in buying my harvest.

This plant has already grown more than 3" since Sunday afternoon, and that 3" was based upon what I saw last night, at this rate it should go up by about 8 to 10" this week.
