I just received an email from STL Beer and Wine for Rhizome orders. Obviously I cannot grow any where I am living right now, but I was wondering if Irish Rover or Derbrauer would want me to buy a different variety that we do not currently have and grow them at either of your two properties? Just an idea, let me know. Below is what was sent to me. The format sent to me was not great, but you can make sense of it.

That would work out fine to plant them at my farm. As far as varieties... off hand I'm pretty sure I ordered Fuggles, Wilamette, and Tettnanger. I will have to double check on that because I kept switching it around before I ordered.
I wouldn't mind planting nugget and/or Sterling. The important thing is planting variety. The sooner the better, especially with this nice weather.
Sterling and Nugget have been bought. They will be arriving in mid-April.
