hops - week 15

the experiment continues:
Mt. Hood (left) - planted in ground May 2008 -> ~14'
Cascade (right) - planted in outdoor container 12 April 2009 -> 15'+
notes: The Mt. Hood plant is dying off - no hops expected from the this one. The Cascade plant appears to have more or less stopped growing and is now just producing hops. Lots and lots of glorious hops. See pics below.

Tons of hop burrs have shown up on newest laterals.
