Also, all of the cuttings that I just planted in the ground are dead and gone. However, all but one of the cuttings that have been sheltered are still alive and all of the cuttings that were placed in a container of water have roots growing. Im not sure about the ones placed in small pots of potting soil because i cant see if there are any roots - the ones placed in potting soil dont look as healthy as the ones in water. The sterling has thousands of spider mites on it so i took it outside and am letting mother nature have her way with it - at least I have some cuttings started from it.

So my magnum is no more. I went to grab my cell phone at the barn and noticed that my magnum had been torn up into little pieces and there were paw prints around it. The only dog that was even here today was a guests who we had over for a couple of days - so it really could have only been that dog.......... the same freaking dog just busted my nintendo wii last night by pulling it from off a ledge and dropping it on the floor. Great guest. So I took the bigger more intact pieces and trimmed off a little on each end and put them in water to try to root them. Im so pissed off right now - the magnum just started to grow; albeit, very slowly in comparison to the others. I just hope that it has enough of a root structure to grow back next year.

WOW!!! My phone is still logged into the website like 5 months after my last post. So, we had a fire that burned down the garage and the horse riding arena/barn next to it, killing my hop plants. All my cuttings died as far as I know with the exception of maybe one. I'm not sure which one though. I can hopefully figure out the strain from pictures though. My sterling ended up getting destroyed by the dogs and a couple weak shoots came out and grew out about four feet or so. Currently the only plant that Im sure is still alive is the sterling rhizome that has about five fat shoots - each about an invh or two long coming off of it. Wish me luck with the sterling and whatever I end up planting this year. Oh, I also scattered some of the seeds I collected from my goldings, cascade, and centennial hops used in brewing last year. Lets see what happens, I might need some encouragement from you guys on homebrew talk to get another grow log going, so let me know what you think I should do. I was thinking i would take one picure of all my hops evey day or every week throughout the season so pwople can get a rough idea of what to expect when they grow their first crop as well.

Sorry to hear about the fire and all but my thoughts would be "FiretrUCK the hops" and just be thankful the horses are OK. My bets are that the hops will come back- later than sooner and that all will be good. After all, didn't the Ducks just do a good one!! Peace to Glen and keep it tight! Hop On!
