hops - week 11

after a 3 week hiatus caused by a busy work schedule, a vacation and a little bit of laziness - the experiment continues:


Mt. Hood - planted in ground May 2008
3 main bines / 13' in length
notes: growth has started to pick up again
laterals have filled in areas where the virus thinned out leaves
no cones spotted as of yet

Cascade - planted in outdoor container 12 April 2009

3+ bines / 13'+ in length

notes: vigorous growth

numerous laterals in lower half 3'-5' in length

small spikey balls appearing on laterals -I assume these are the hop cones

Nugget - planted in indoor container 13 April 2009

1 bine / 20'+ in length

notes: vigorous growth

numerous laterals on the first and third quarter of the bine

some spikey balls (hop cones?) are starting to appear on the upper laterals
