That's so great. I wish I had the land to do something like that.
For first year hops you are off to a great start. Just wait till next year.

Question for ya,
The blue rings, Is that a full container underground or just a ring to mark the plants?
Are they all 1 kind?

They are 55 gallon drums cut into thirds with the bottoms cut out to keep them above ground level, this land stays wet for to long in the spring I think if I didnt do this they would rot in the ground.
There are 6 or 7 different kind.

That's a really smart way to build smaller size raised garden beds.

O.k got a dumb question for ya.
In veggie garden if tomato's or peppers and more commonly corn have 2 differnt varietys side by side they will start to cross germinate.
I have had peppers start out one thing at the start of the year and by the end they have changed complete shape.
With hops growing side by side will they cross germinate?

For that to happen you would need male hop plants. What we have are female. Even then only the seeds would be a cross between the two varieties. Cross pollination wouldn't change the existing rhizomes.
