My Hops

From left to right. Golding, Challenger.

They didn't get off to the best of starts. When they sprouted in their individual buckets I moved them to my allotment patch. I'm guessing the temperature shock might slowed them down. They died down till 2 weeks later they were growing. Now their 8ft on wigwams + a stable wire trellis. No hops yet, still time for some to appear though. I hope.

Golding was behind the challenger, till today it passed it on to the wire trellis. I read it is a slower grower in the early season.

Holts Humdinger

Pours a copper colour with a thin white head. Aroma is toasted malts, honey and a little cirtus hop notes. Light-Medium body.  Smooth texture. Taste is mostly honey with citrus hops. After taste is a short cirtus hop dry bitterness. 4% strength.

Lomo script for Gimp

I have used several lomo scripts. I think this one is the best with its cross processing effects.

Inverting LAB A or B is neat. The motion blur is really the icing on the cake making shots look vintage. Several colour settings come with the script too. Lots to place with.

Download the script from registry.gimp.org/node/7870. Place it in the gimp scripts folder ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts/.
