hops - week 6

the experiment continues:
Nugget - planted in indoor container 13 April 2009
1 bines / 5' in length
Mt. Hood - planted in ground May 2008
3 bines / 5'-7' in length
notes: some sort of blight has hit this plant, and i've been forced to prune several leaves.
online research suggest a virus that may have come with the plant from the beginning. a virus won't kill the plant; however there is nothing that can be done to remedy the plant and it will have lower production.
Cascade - planted in outdoor container 12 April 2009
3 bines / 1' - 3' in length

Hops are looking good. I haven't had much action on mine yet. But I remain hopeful.

my container hops were really slow off the bat, but over the last couple of weeks started kicking ass. they are starting to look better than the one mt.hood hops i planted last year.
