I haven't anything to add, but my wife and I just spent a number of days in Kilkenny last month. Beautiful part of the world.

I love me some pacman, I keep slants of it now as my house yeast. It chews trough a beer for sure though.

Here's my first attempt at a trellis, needs some shoring up but hope it works. These are 2nd year Mt Hood, Fuggle, Golding, and Centennial.
