I keep running into people who have just picked their hops up here. However, mine don't feel or smell like they are ready yet. I had someone tell me the other day that if I don't pick them this week they'll probably go to waste (rain, wind, too old). Except, my spot is fairly sheltered (dry through yesterday's torrential rain) and, quite frankly, my hops still seem too green. They only really took off and became hoplike in size and form about two or three weeks ago. I'm thinking I have between 2 and 4 weeks before they should be picked, but this is my first harvest (the vines are second year, previous home owner planted them).
Thoughts?
Not to mention, I have no idea what type of hops they are :\ I didn't plant'm, and the previous owner isn't sayin'.
