My Cascade is between 6-7 feet already. Most of my other varieties are 3-5 feet now. Hopefully all the rest of your bines are in the same range. This is by far the fastest growing year I've seen so far. Also I have a bunch of Cascade for sale / trade (1 - 1 year old crown and 3 - 2-3 year old...

I started my Zeus indoors which I think was a mistake as after I transplanted them outside they all died back to the ground and took a while to get going again. I potted them in 1 gallon pots with a 50/50 mix of potting soil and compost. If I did it again I would probably just use compost. Of...

I'm in Edmonds and of my 15 crowns 12 have broken the surface in varying degrees. 3 or 4 of them are 6 inches to a foot tall already and one already has some leaves on it (Zues). They are all 2nd or 3rd year crowns. I'm planning on cutting all but the strongest looking 3/4 bines per crown back...

I bought some from Hops Direct (AKA Puterbaugh Farms) in Yakima. The rhizomes I got were great and they sent spares (i ordered 3-4 of 3 different varieties and they sent 4-6 rhizomes of each variety. There are some on craigslist in Tacoma right now too.

The code no longer works.

The Hallertau is 7+ feet right now and I will be planting it in the next week or so. I decided to put it in a half wine barrel and run it up the side of my house. I'll put three of the other varieties in a raised bed planter / trellis and another 3 in half wine barrels. Most of the rhizomes...

Hallertau is pushing 5 feet: Centennial is growing nicely along with willemite and chinook: I'm starting to worry that the hallertau is going to be too large to transplant this year. Any ideas? It'll probably be 7+ feet by the time I can put it outside as I'm still building the raised...

In case anyone was wondering they were all planted in a 50/50 mix of compost and potting soil, were lightly brushed with clonex and have been watered with miracle grow. I've been working on a raised bed with a 16 foot trellis for 3-4 of them and 1/2 wine or whiskey barrels for the rest with...

Great lakes hops - have the best if you want crowns but they don't ship to Washington or Oregon (both have quarantines on hops) I ordered from hopsdirect.com and was very happy with what I received this year. I ordered 7 rhizomes of 5 varieties and received 12 rhizomes. See my thread about...

We're now up to 46 inches in the hallertau which means it slowed to an average of just over 3.5" per day since it broke the surface. 7 of the 12 rhizomes have broken the surface: Centennial Willamette Chinook Cascade - newest one yet Columbus - 1st to break the surface but has...

The 1 year old hallertau is cruising along at 29 inches!!! This equates to about 5 inches a day. 5 of the 12 rhizomes have broken the surface too.

I ordered 7 hop rhizomes of 5 different varieties from hopsdirect.com on Monday and received them today. They sent me one more of each of the varieties than I ordered (1=2 and 2=3) which means I got 12 for the price of 7. They all looked very healthy and had multiple eyes starting. I got...
