Wide Wednesday . . . Natural World

I always think of things natural being away from the built up environment.  On that basis I drove south of Wakefield and stopped beside this hop field.  Hops have been grown in the Nelson Region for 150 years.  NZ Hops Ltd is aiming to be the most revered supplier of hops to the world.  Chances are if you are a beer drinker some of our hops are in it.  The hops haven't started to grown yet and just wisps of last years crops are trapped on the lines.
