Way to go girl! Hi-5's to Pilotdane! That is cool, at least you know it can be done now, so, how many cones are on your other plants? I have vaccum sealed 24 oz. of dried hops so far, and the cascade is loading up again, sometime this week I will be picking hops again woo woo! Later Gator.

Nothing harvested yet but one cascade is very heavy with cones. I think some of the ones near the top will be ready in a week or so. It's hard to say since I'm new to the hops growing thing but I hope I'll know when I see it. The cones still feel moist and don't smell like hops so I know it will be a bit longer.

Any pictures, PilotDane?

Ask and you shall receive.

Here is the cascade I started from a cutting this spring (off a 1st year bine). On it's way to the hops garden since it has outgrown it's bamboo stake.

And yes we have burrs.

Since it outgrew the stake that was way too tall and "it will never get that tall this season" I'm moved it to the hops garden to take the place of a sterling that did not survive.

The white columns are 8ft. tall.

The two on the left are cascade. #3 is the cascade in a pot I stared from a cutting. Then a sterling and magnum and nugget.
