If I remember correctly, I think I planted in mid April and they were coming up by early May. They were already sprouting when I planted. The two most vigorous plants are Cascade and Nugget. The little one is Hallertauer and the other is Williamette. I think I planted them too close together for different varieties, about 30 inches or so. I had alot of trouble with Jap beetles, especially on the Williamette. To be honest, I pretty much ignored them all summer, figuring they wouldn't really produce much til next year. I spose I coulda taken better care of them.
I guess I'll harvest when the flowers start to feel dry and papery, according to the instructions i got with the rhizomes. Maybe I'll have enough to dryhop a brew or two.
