[Benn]

Thanks for the Zomes BB :beer: That makes 2x goldings 1x Vic & 1x Chinook for my first season. Happy Days!

 

[BottloBill]

**** is starting to get out of control here, glad I have the next 3 days off to sort out the strings before its to late.

 

[Matplat]

What are you feeding them! are these first year plants?

 

[Spohaw]

They are pumping bottlo !

 

[BottloBill]

Yes mate all first year. I am using miracle grow max feed for vegetables, I have only given them one dose so far and water every second day. This is a second year Chinook on the same feed schedule.

 

[Matplat]

Hmmmm seems I need to up my game.... and/or watering schedule!

 

[Spohaw]

Thinking I should start watering mine

 

[The Judge]

Christ Bottlo! Those are some healthy looking bines...

 

[BottloBill]

I am pretty happy with them. I am just following my growing notes from last season, minus the use of hydro solutions I had laying around the shed from my younger days>_>
Have been told to not expect much from the Goldings so "boom" just plant **** loads and see what comes of it☺

 

[Spohaw]

Hydro solutions "laying" around hey ? Haha

 

[BottloBill]

Yeeeeessss! Strawberries and Tomatoes among other things

 

[Spohaw]

Nice cover story bottlo

 

[BottloBill]

Those days are long gone spohaw,
I would say 20 years ago easy.

Cheers Benn! Both had shoots so they should be all good.

My first hop plants, just planted. They are cascade from diggers.

 

[Antsvb]

Hi.
The bride's on a gardening phase atm. So talked her into trying some hops for me. Got some cascade on the way from diggers club.

Anyone around newcastle/lake mac able to hook us up with anything else?

 

[Yob]

Getting a bit late to be cutting up zomes, most are shooting already and it's not a good idea to be disturbing them

 

[flave_7]

Top left clockwise: Flinders (finally started to shoot), Weurtemberger and POR.
When should I start using a string line for them?

 

[Alex.Tas]

No real need for a string line until the look like they need it. Maybe around a foot or so? No harm in putting it in early though.

 

[The Judge]

Just to get everyone giddy. Here are Spalt hops picked yesterday (from old bine growing at our family house in Bavaria).


Hopefully my actual plants back in Perth are shooting!
