Hops

[Earthbabe]

Nothing to do with rabbits.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone have any hop seed (humulus lupulus)?

You know the stuff breweries use.

[Squirrel]

I don't know about seeds, but I have got hop plants flowering like blazes in my back yard and I can't get rid of it! It's the green one not the yellow - want some? I've got your address, so can send you some if you want!

[JazzDuke]

Hop shoots are used as a veg in Italy

[Earthbabe]

Yes and are mentioned in Richard Mabey's book too in a frittata recipe. Good excuse for a post prandial snooze then.

Squirrel will the plants survive ok. And did you still want everlasting sweet peas?

[Squirrel]

Happy to chop off flowers and send to anyone who wants! But please be aware that they self seed and get everywhere!

Earthbabe have sent off the envelopes for the everlasting sweetpeas so you should be getting them soon!

If anyone else wants hop flowers please pm me and I will give you my address for the sae.
