But they didn't grow well because I didn't have a trellis that was tall enough for them, hops like to grow to 25-30 feet. I ended up digging up the rhizomes and giving them to a friend of mine who has a trellis already set up to handle those kinds of heights.
that is awesome.

I also have a raised bed of strawberries, 2 of raspberries and a few blueberry plants. Then I have a herb garden and a bunch of flowers in the front.
It is my favorite thing every year. Since we are in Wisconsin, I haven't really started to grow much yet. Just my asparagus and rhubarb so far. I'll get peas in this weekend!
asparagus! i've gotta look into that...
though i hate the attack of asparagus piss.

It adds to my imagination of a wonderful married life of no kids and growing shit.
I also live in an apartment complex that offers no space to do something like this which is the real problem.

could look for one of those community garden type things where you get to claim a space.

just DO NOT accidentally rub your eye! it burned viciously for about 40min.
wearing gloves reminds me not to do such, and i can throw them away after.
also, man, remember fresh is SO much spicier than the grocery.
(which rules)

Rubbing your eye on purpose is OK though?

Asparagus is actually kind of a pain to get started. I planted mine years ago and am just now able to eat some of it. Once it gets going though, it is super easy.

good to know, i'll probably set up a fruit somewhere outside my garden instead.
