First my hops seem to have stopped drying. I started with 6 oz wet and I can not get them to dry out any more than 1.9 oz. They have been at that weight now for 3 days. Thoughts?
Second- suddenly one of my Chinook bines that wasn't doing so well has suddenly taken off. It was planted at the same time as the others but suddenly it's grown 4- 5 feet in 10 days. I didn't fertilize or anything else that would contribute to this sudden burst. Do they normally grow late? Could this bine still produce cones this late?
It seems my hop garden has attracted some lovely helpers in the form of praying mantises. Nice to see them around.
