Very nice!
I wish I could grow some hops.

 

[PepperLover]

nice looking plant

 

[cheezydemon]

I am blown away.

I planted some other new ones this year, they are 1/8 of the height and no sign of cones.

Looking good there, cheezy.

 

[cheezydemon]

I know you had some seasoned rhizomes IGG, but the transplant may have set them back.

Are they looking OK?

If not, there will be a ton next year.

They are doing amazing! They've started to set hops now.

Too cool. Are you going to try a fresh hop brew? Or dry them all?

you know they're cascade b/c they have leaves, mini pine cones, and they grow up a strang! HA, sorry...I

 

[cheezydemon]

I guess...I have 8 other varieties that are 1st year, have leaves, grow up strangs, etc.

My Cascade is making an incredible comeback.

I lost 30% of the cones to spider mites, it now has millions of new cones popping out everywhere.

I will barely notice any loss is my guess.
