Growing Hops During the 2011 Season

This year is the hops vines second year in my yard so I am hoping for two things. Taller plants, and a bigger harvest. I am hoping that the plants will be able to reach the top of the pole this year. We will have to see. I posted pictures in order from spring to fall of the growing season. Enjoy!

4/14/11- Hops Rhizomes are just starting to peak their way out of the ground.

5/12/11- Hops are now about 1 1/2 foot tall and starting to make their way up the trellis wire.
