Anyone else growing hops in San Francisco?

[Rock_Toy]

This is my second year growing a Cascade and a Nugget plant in the Sunset District in San Francisco. Last year, the plants grew but produced no flowers at all. I honestly did not expect anything to happen this year either. However, the Cascade came in slow and then a few weeks ago, started flowering. I think that I am ready to harvest that plant today. Here are some pics.

I would love to duplicate the production next year if possible. Anyone know some secret tips to growing hops in this neck of the woods? We only have limited sun out here and plenty of moisture (fog) in the air.

Sounds like they need more sun. Did you have more sun this year than others?
