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.

I would think a hot pepper liquid would work for most insects. The hottest part of a pepper like jalapino are the seeds. So if use a grain seeping cloth bag and put hot pepper seed in it along with other things like crushed red pepper, and seep it for 40-60 minutes in 3-4 cups of water. You'd have a hot and spicy liquid mixture for a garden hand spray.

The lightly spray so you don't promote mold. I know Japanese bettles and I'm 99.9% sure that would work.

I use a very light soap and water solution (no dyes or perfumes) on my herbs and veggies. It works really well. Just rinse them lightly before you use.
