I am waiting on the thyme garden to deliver. We are starting to warm up here too. It is not getting below 50 at night now and hitting the 70s in the day. This week is suppose to be a little colder though. I guess bakersfield hit 86 this last weekend

I can't wait to get mine in the ground.

Single digits last night and a high of 15F today. I think my hops will be dormant for a few more weeks.

On the plus side they will not get burnt by the sun. I didn't even water them last year and they produced a decent crop. This time of year, winter starts seeming a little long but I prefer that to not having any.

Your Cascade will come up, and not just where you planted it. I had Cascade shoots coming up in a 5 foot circle the second year. I think there was more root growth than bine.

I don't expect to see anything for another two months, the hopyards haven't even started cleaning up the winter debris.

Below zero around here lately. Highs of above 20F today and maybe by Thursday above 40F. But still we can get snow and cold for a few weeks yet.

As soon as our snow is gone, I'm going to get a sheet of plastic ready to cover our plants for when the frost comes.

Just ordered mine from American Brewmaster.

Centennial, and Nugget.

First time grower. Most likely growing onto a privacy fence...
