Looking good, will look awesome covered in green.
I was worried about the wind load my trellis may put on the fence, but i see you used some star pickets to secure the trellis base and then braced against the timber fence.
How many plants are you going to run on this trellis, reckon it will strain your fence much?
Hey Alex, thanks.

only two plants, so max about 10-12 bines.
Yeah, the star pickets and the bracing to the fence should be enough support…I hope ! haha
 
Creeping!

I love these shots. Looks like some good growth. What is it? What state are you in? (And I don't mean your sobriety !)
 
Far out, I'm in Wollongong, NSW and have only just in the last couple of weeks got my first shoots!
 
It's a 3yo cascade that i got earlier this year. I split the crown in 2 and they are both going crazy. I'm up in Stirling SA

Saaz and cascade on the grow.
Hopefully I yield higher than last year (around 30g from memory dried)

Fellas,

A true coming of age story.

I've been checking my hops twice a day for the last two months.


Finally!!!

You can prune them but if the bines don't grow long enough you won't get any cones.

Dude I'm pretty sure that's garlic not hops.
The Victoria is on the right edge of the pic toward the top.

In the second pic there is a second Victoria behind the obvious one in the upper centre of the screen.

My cascade has been on the peptides this year and already at the top of the trellis.

Whereas my chinook is still stretching and rubbing its eyes.
