Hops and Quince




What do you do with hops and quince?
The new garden is producing and we are definitely reaping the rewards but the hops and the quince were here prior to the garden and are primarily decorative. There must be someone out there interested in harvesting and using the hops or making quince jelly?
We have a bumper crop of both and it seems a waste to once again just allow the quince to fall to the ground and to tear down the hops when they pass decorative.
Any takers?

Are the hops for free? My husband brews his own beer and we'd be interested in the hops themselves, or even the seeds aftare they have gone to seed.

I would be happy to give it to someone to make beer. When do you harvest it? Tell me what to watch for to know it is ready and give me a contact e-mail (send to Jean@KitsapImages.com)
