Hi Guys,
I'm having my first attempt at growing hops (Goldings). After a bit of a false start where I thought that the rhizome had rotted, I've now got six runners. The plant appears to be doing well however I've noticed that some of the leaves have brown patches. Any idea what this is?
Also, the plant seems to be attracting small grey-winged insects - any idea what these would be? Are they harmful, and if so, how should I get rid of them?
Here are some pics of the plant and the brown areas:
Cheers,
Chris
