Today on the Urban Farm we had our first harvest of Galena hops and our second harvest of the Comet hops! Our Galena hops have been smaller than the rest of the hop varieties so far and seem to have a harder time producing lupulin. We have thought of a few reasons why this may be happening: They might be putting their energy into their root system this year; or They might not be getting enough water (plants are like people, we all need the same basic things to survive but not all of us need the same amounts). It could be something else but part of farming is figuring that stuff out and putting solutions into place when needed.
