I have Fuggles, First gold, WGV (Whitbread Golding Variety)
First come first served. Not sure how many I have but a bag full anyway.
BUT they won't be available until next week. Too much competition stuff this week.
I can't ask for one bottle of beer per rhyzome but I am not selling them :o and to barter with alcohol is illegal :'( Also I am not going out of my way. If you want them, show me as I haven't the time to be running around.
Just make a list. No PM's please as I get enough about the comp.
Can I send you an SSAE for a WGV? LOL OFCH etc.
Oil fired central heating??!... Lol.. Can I do the same please? Send me your address if that method suits you. Thanks Rossa,
*Cough* Who, me?
Yep. I've been off air. Back to normal next week be heading to the the meet up in Blackrock if anyone wants hops. Make a list and bring me some quality beer!
I haave no idea where blackrock is, but I suspect it isn't near Buncrana.
Can I send you an SSAE with a Euromillions scratcher in it as a bribe?
Cool. I reckon a big padded envelope would fit them.
That's sweet Rossa, thanks. Would you PM me your address and I'll get onto it.
Would love a WGV, and if you're struggling to shift any others, I'll find them a good home.
If you have any to spare I would love to get in on this.
I Would take anything that's going.
Rossa keep poor auld me in mind too,would love to give this a lash ::)
Sure lads. I reckon I can send a couple your way. You can always split them and get double. Anyway will you pm me, I'll give you my address and maybe post me a stamped addressed giffy bag like Tom is doing and I'll lash em in the post asap. I'd say a4 would do it.
Any left Rossa?
That's it from me for this year folks...providing the lads above get the envelopes to me. More next year.
I will probably be taking some "Irishman's Cutting" from my hops. These should be ready to plant in the summer for next year.
Another way of getting lots of IM cuttings is to lay a growing bine (say about 6 foot long with about 8 nodes) into a length of plastic guttering ( bigger cross section the better - get a big square on if poss) and bury the bine in the compost with the leaves upwards. The idea is that each node should root ( may be to damage the node by removing one leaf & add a bit of hormone etc) and after a while a if a good root system has established chop up the cuttings and pot on.
Watch this space.
Varieties that MAY be available will be:
H. Mitttlefruh
N. Brewer
Tettnangter
Cascade
Magnum
Saazer
Gimmli (a dwarf variety - onlt 2 or 3 m high)
What made you pick Gimmli, Will? Trying something new, or had you heard about it, or are you a big LOTR fan?

Curiosity and the fact postage was included for an extra plant!
Might be good for people with limitted space
BTW whats LOTR?
Good enough reason for me.
LOTR is Lord of the Rings. Gimli (Son of Gloin) was a dwarf. Is a dwarf.
