yes the price sound good, Reg, but what is that variety "golden hop"
I've bought my hop bines about 3 and 3.5 £ in France, I think it's always better to go in a hop nursery, ther're professional and can give good informations ;)

Finally my secret is revealed :P

Please don't tell anyone. Outside communication is not allowed on my world... :D

But seriously, even though I live in the south east where most hops are grown, I don't think I've ever come across one. That might be because I can kill the healthiest plant just by looking at it. One of my peoples secret powers ;)
