^^Dude, does your street begin in Mexico or something?

 

[Filfy]

He's in Canada..........

 

[felten]

They have really long streets in Canada.

 

[newguy]

Are you referring to the 5 digit house number? First 3 are the street number....140th street.

 

[jayahhdee]

... it was more entertaining thinking that you street went from Tijuana to Vancouver.

All your hops seem to enjoy the nice cold earth - mine seem to be trying to escape - they refuse to stay underground.
Last season they developed a bit of bulk on top, and over the winter they have really spent only a week or two covered.
I cover them with a layer of dirt every now and again, however it washes off as soon as rain hits.

This is happening to 4/7 of my 2nd year plants.

They seem to be doing ok... No sign of frost-death...

Goldings

Hallertau

that is a rediculous number of shoots.

Indeed, the second image has between 15-20 already 1cm long or larger.
Checked this morning and there's baby leaves already forming on 2-3 of them.

OH YEAH.

Could have put them, or in this case it, into a pot with some coir when you received it and just put a bit of liquid manure on it now and again mozzi. That's what I do. I don't see the point to putting them in the fridge. Up to you of course.

Just moving to the country for a year or so. Moved my neglected first year plant/s that are in a pot...or tried to! The roots had busted out the bottom of the pot and are the size of your finger!!! Took a bit to yank it out of the ground.

Looking forward to getting them in the ground and not a pot as they have started going mad with sprouts and both plants are still going (thought one had died) and setting up some decent trellis.

Sure I can beat the four cones I had from last years plant that was grown from a cutting.

the 'A' in AHB is for Aussie - not Alberta. Don't brag just because your grow-op comes in 6 months early(or late).

How's about mowing your lawn, eh hippy?!?

I know. I fertilised the lawn this spring and then it started to rain......every damn day. The day I took those pictures was just after it had stopped raining but the lawn was too soggy to mow.

[newguy]

[Filfy]

Mine are getting a nice coverage of mulch either today or tomorrow, followed by copious amounts of a nitrogen based fert.

One on Dr Smurto's pups at 2 weeks in the ground.

Saw no further signs of activity from the other one so gave it a lift to find a new shoot about 60cm long that had run underground across the barrel and was starting to emerge.
