Two of my hop plants from last year that I thought were dead have come back pretty good and they're growing nicely. But I notice they look nice and fresh and healthy in the early morning but if I got out an check on them in the afternoon they are wilted even though I'm keeping them watered nicely. Temps here have been 100F+ in the afternoons. Is it normal for them to be wilted like that in the heat ? I was under the impression that Hops liked full sun - possibly I need to move them to a partially shady place ?
Also, when I look at pictures of some other people's hops the leaves appear bigger than mine. Mine have small leaves not much bigger than a quarter. Its the second year I've had them and they are already more than 6feet, but they aren't lush and green with lots of leaves at all. They do have some cones already, but they are very small about the size of a pea.
