I know!!!! It is only because that cascade was so well established last year.

I didn't start a "First Ripe Hop!" thread, because it is not a function of skill, but rather of time.

I don't know if I am more thrilled by the presence of tiny buds already, or the evidence that there will be 4-5 cones per node, as opposed to just 1 per node last year!

Yes I recommend it!

In reference to your request for places to buy hops,if you mean hops rhizomes for growing, online, and it is probably too late this year.:(

If you mean for brewing, I prefer the local brewshop (if you have one)

General gardening knowledge was about all I needed. That and some experience growing pot(long ago;)).

Preparation of soil, proper means to grow the plant UPWARDS, all info can be easilly gotten online.

Haven't seen cone stems that look all segmented like that before, and I am growing 8 varieties.

May be worth a google.
