Hop shoots are up 2014!!

[HappyHopper]

I also have room now .. Is it to late in the season for planting... Anyone have extra plants?

[jacinthebox]

I've been buying safer's insecticidal soap. Seems good.

I started putting this on as well....something has been munching away on my leaves...

Likely a bit late in the season now, the plants likely wouldn't grow much, but may be able to establish enough of a root system to survive the winter. If you were able to track down some rhizomes, you'd likely be better off planting them in pots so you can take them inside in the fall when the temperature starts dropping.

little cones

Plants are super healthy this year despite me completely ignoring them.

I ignored mine and they got ate to shit so I'm only going to have a very small harvest.

I can probably help you out with some more fresh/fresh-dried hops if you're interested—I'm going to have more than I can use. I still have some left from last year's harvest.

I harvested my first plant today, and wet hopped an APA. I might have been just slightly premature - some of the cones weren't quite ready, but the majority were.

Thanks for the offer, Jeff, but I also have a freezer full of pellet hops... haven't brewed in over 2 months, maybe 3 now, just too busy. I see some freezer clearing DIPAs in my future.

I have a few up as well. I'm hoping to start digging up rhizomes and dig in some manure and compost this weekend.

[jeffsmith]

Mine are all poking through the ground as well.

[mr x]

Not much, but there.

That's about where mine are as well.

[bluenose]

I guess I'd better go take a look at mine tomorrow

This is going to be a good year for hops.

Cascade out front. There's a Golding shoot on the left.

It's finally warm enough on the Island to think about gardening and the yard again. Here's my cascade I planted last year. Should I do some trimming and limit the number of shoots? Going to plant the Nugget tonight too.

I usually wait until the shoots are a couple feet high so I can cut all but the hardiest looking ones.
