Look OK?

What do you folks think, do there plants look OK? I'm in VT, hence the bines being short at this point. The top/forming leaves I expect to be lighter green at first. Pictures I've seen on here have darker leaves. Should I fertilize more? I plan to this weekend anyways.

I'm also in Vermont. My hops are about 8 feet tall now! One single plant has about 24 bines. The leaves are dark green. It's about 7 years old, what are yours?

I've got Cascade, Chinook, Willamette, and Tettnanger. Mine are only a few years old. I'm guessing you're in southern VT or something? Granted I didnt fertilize/weed well in previous years.

I'm in Springfield. Can't remember what varieties I have. I water every day and use fertilizer every two weeks. It's gonna suck bad next month when the japanese beetles move in!

How do you plan recipes if you don't know the varieties?
