I harvested my Northern Brewer hops last night. The yield was quite good being that they’re only in their 2nd year of growth.
Me and the bines:
This is about a third of the total harvest from the two NB plants:
I got some help from Meghan and Bjorn as well!
The hops are now resting peacefully in my shed. They’ll be there for the next few days or until they’re dry. After that , I’ll pack ‘em into freezer bags and into the deep freeze they go.

The short version is that the OS hard drive of my previous webserver died a very hard death, and I was unable to salvage any data from it. Luckily, most of the data I had on the webserver was stored on a separate hard drive, which is chugging along healthily. The website is mostly back to it’s previous state, minus a few comments (due to my lack of adequate db backups) and minus search engine-friendly URLs (I need to figure out how lighttpd’s incarnation of mod_rewrite works). I know I won’t be able to get the comments back, but hopefully I’ll be able to get mod_rewrite under control in the next few days.
Oh – and the other thing I’m changing is the location of my photo gallery. I’ve moved my pics offsite, over to my smugmug gallery.
