These pictures were taken on July 23. I documented the different things I found while these suckers are growing. If anyone has any insight on to why some of these things are happening, please share!
Burnt Leaves
I found some of the leaves were burning from the outside in.
And then I found some vines that just burned all the way to the top (thinking these vines met there match with a weedwacker).
Burnt Vines
I’m assuming these leaves were munched on by critters…the next picture may be culprit!
Something was hungry
Perhaps it was this little guy!
Tiny culprit
And even though discovering these things was discouraging, I came across this wonderful row of Hops:
Cascade Hops
Another Cascade
There seems to be problems dowloading the rest of the pictures. If you go to the link in my blogroll called “Progression of Hops”, it will take you to Photobucket where you can view the rest of the photos. Below is a picture taken right before I left, as you can see, a lot of the rows have either taken their time to grow or haven’t grown at all. I have no idea when we need to start picking the hops and I have no idea when to start cutting them down to the crown. Again, if anyone has advice or ideas, send them my way!
Look how green!
