7/29/2021 – It is a very beautiful, but very hot day in western North Carolina. And research associate, Margaret Bloomquist, was checking out our fiber hemp research plots at the Mountain Research Station in Waynesville, NC. She then drove back to the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center in Mills River to check out the floral hemp trials. She sent a few pictures to me and they were so beautiful, I just had to share them with you!

Most of these plants were transplanted in the field on June 3. You can see our two hemp dryers in the background to the right. And if you look real close, you can see one of our research hop yards in the upper left. Photo by Margaret Bloomquist.

Some of these varieties are very large and bushy, and others, like the one above, are not! Photo by Margaret Bloomquist.

And that’s it for this week’s pictures from the NC Alternative Crops & Organics Program. A huge thank you to my staff, Margaret Bloomquist, Luping Qu, Katie Learn, and Patrick French, and the staff at the research stations for working so hard under some trying weather conditions this year to keep these studies going!
