I planted 2 cascade rhizomes and it took about 2 weeks for them to sprout up. I checked them in the afternoon and they were about 1/2" high, and then the next morning nothing was there. Same thing for a few more days. I know rabbits come in my yard sometimes, and there are some bugs too. So I guess my question is can it be the rabbits that are eating my hops? If it is I guess it is time for some chicken wire to protect them until they get bigger.
