Here is the trellis with the cascade and nugget plants looking fat and happy.
First we lower the boom, to get the cones down to human level.
Then it's a simple matter to unwind the vines from the stringers.
Then we collect up the chopped vines in a big plastic bag.
These will make good beer.
So will these.
I can almost taste it now.
Now, where's my knife?
After the cone-bearing vines have been chopped off, haul the rest back up.
The remaining stems will send juices back down into the rhizomes for next year.
Enough for a whole year of brewing.
