Well mine have shot up since those previous posts. The Hallertau (in the photo) has about 4 or 5 plants growing and I'm getting one in place to be trained onto the mesh; the Fuggle only has two, and it's growing more slowly, some of its leaves appear to be getting eaten by something. They have some small holes in them, but it's still growing up, which is something. It doesn't get quite as much sun as the Hallertau though.

The horizontal mesh is there to keep the turkeys out of it. :ph34r:

The best thing I have done is set up a dripper system and bought a prgrammable timer from Bunnings so they always get enough water, 3 minutes twice a day
 
So here's an update on how the two roots are going. Starting to get some real momentum going. Looking at putting up some wire this week. I have a roll of fence wire that I was thinking of putting for it to climb. Any suggestions ImageUploadedByAussie Home Brewer1448157840.032353.jpgImageUploadedByAussie Home Brewer1448157856.951214.jpg

Also, the two shoots in my 1st post died off completely.
