I was doing a little weeding and noticed these along the bases of my bines. At first glance I dismissed them as rhizomes but on closer inspection I realized rhizomes don't have any cotyledon
A couple of last year's graduates in their first full growing season showing some impressive sidearm production. It'd be really cool if the hops actually made tasty beer, haha! We'll have to wait another couple months to find out.
Looks like you're only training two per string? I like loading them up, bigger harvest per crown . . . just me though?
Do you find that the ones with the red petioles have a more pale-greenish color to them? Also, the leaf in the third picture looks like it's got some light colored lesions developing on it. I'd keep an eye on that one.
Those were actually the seedlings you started back in Feb?
@Nagmay- Do you plan on any brewing trials?
Last night we stopped by the yard with the 2-year-olds. They are loaded with cones.
I am very excited about the prospects of getting these analyzed.
Way cool! How detailed are you going to get with analysis? Have you contacted OSU or using a private lab like this: http://www.karlabs.com/hops.htm
