You can just see the mark I made (a bit below where the stem appears from behind the upright) which was how high the hops plant was at 5 o'clock yesterday evening. This was taken at about 7:30 the next morning. The upright is about 1.5" wide. All that growth - about 4" - in 14 hours. In the dark. Hooray for hops.
Most of the "Pink Fir Apple" variety of spuds seem to have white flowers... ... but some of them have come up purple. What we call maori spuds. Some sort of New Zealand yam. Delicious, and pretty flower.
