It's been a few weeks since I posted an update. Not a lot to discuss in this post but I've included a few pictures I took the end of July. I was finally able to get a few good close up pictures of the cascade hop cones still on the bine. I also took a picture of the 2 cascade plants together that show a lot of cones, and the last picture shows the base of the OK goldings plant. On all of my plants I stripped the bottom 2 feet of vegetation to minimize the possibility of mildew and insect problems.
Welcome to Hop Flavor! I created this blog to chronicle my attempt at growing hops, good or bad. I'm starting out with 6 hop rhizomes and hope to have good enough growth to harvest some cones at the end of the season. Join me on my quest! Please feel free to comment, make suggestions or ask questions.
