2nd year Cascade going gangbusters, gonna have to give it more height next year. And this is despite a distinct lack of attention this year...last year I was out there every day watering, feeding regularly, singing it lullabies, you name it. This year I occasionally glanced at it while walking past. These things just love to grow.

Harvested 400g wet so far from these two first year plants (Chinook and cascade) andli reckon i have about double that left to go. Went out today and some of the cones seemed to have gone from starting to Brown slightly around the edges to almost all Brown over night. Will have to keep an eye on the it and find more space for drying

When is the right time to pick flowers? How dry do you let them get on the plant?

A few shots of the recent developments from the past few days... Cones are fattening up fast!

Victoria on the right, cluster on the left in the full length photo.
Cluster had some insect damage early on and I had to tear the whole thing up but she's come back to life just fine!!

Bronson! I've got the sweats I'm that jealous!

 

[The Judge]

Cascade is one of my favourite hops. So glad it grows easily right here our backyards.

 

[Lochem]

Bronson those are looking great!! Wonderful job. Are the bines climbing up a straight rope? How many have you got there?

 

[Tahoose]

[bronson]

thanks guys,
yep , on the right i have 3 s/s cables running straight up. it started sending runners out the side so i just trained it to where i wanted it.
On the left i ran just garden twine to the rio frame then up to the facia.
this is its second year.
also i left the rihzome in the ground whilst dormant.
