Starting around now. Early varieties in the US already in. Should be a bumper harvest this year, but demand is greater than ever.
Must head out and check the wild ones I found last year, see how they are doing. I'm actually going to brew with them this year....
Big harvest in Kent on Wednesday, one of the WG lads is heading over

Where did you find them at all? Escapees from a farm yard years ago?
Near ballyhogue in Wexford, growing in a ditch. I'd say so, there was a few big estates around this part of the county at one point. I'm assuming they grew them as a cash crop?!
