I'm coming into the second year for my Magnums. At the end of last growing season, I cut my vines down to about 10-12" and let them dry out. I'm already seeing sprouts/buds on one of my plants and I'm wondering if that's OK this early in the year. We've had a very dry and warm winter so far here in the central valley of California. My hops havent had any irrigation for a few months now, and we are getting a light frost about once or twice a week. Should I leave it alone and just go with it; cover the plants to prevent frost damage; pinch off the buds; or water and fertilize to get the season started early. Thanks!
