beer Fourth year hops growers take heart....Iggy's Response to Cheezy

Well, while Cheezy's hops are beating mine in terms of hop cone size (stupid Southerners with their earlier warm climate :lol: ) he's only on his second year for his hops.

I on the other hand am on a fourth year hop. Each leaf node is sending out a bine in each direction and each of those bines are doing the same thing at their nodes.....expenential fractle growth at it's finest! Well, ontop of that, each one of those nodes are shooting out hop flowers.

On top of it, they are 16 feet tall...in both directions ;) God, I love friendly pissing contests!

The main hop:

Some of the little hops a growing (they are the little fuzzy things):

Drat! Well...shit.... :lol:
 
Lol. I wasn't wanting to make it a contest.

The whole "paying out more line" to get more feet of growth worked too well.

I have loops of this monster 5 inches off of the ground producing cones.

Ah, that explains it - I'm on my first year hibiscus. :)

OK, so my plant will never grow as tall as yours - I'm resigned to that. :( But, I can take solace in the fact that while my plant will not be longer than yours, it will be taller!

Go Reds!
