Things growing along well!
Looking great! What year are your hops? My 2nd year Cascade & Centennial are only 3-4' so far. Jealous of how big yours are already!

Update: growth rate seems to have slowed considerably.
I don't fertilize and the grass is 9 years old. These are second year hops that I cut back and divided. The holes they are buried in are 4' deep and all the soil was amended with peat, manure and sand and dirt.
The leaves are pale...but are starting to darken from the bottom up. I've recently added some bone meal and a fertilizer...I will post the analysis shortly.
I don't water daily but we have had a lot of rain this week. Not too much sun.
Here's a link to mine with descriptions

Nice. I really like those stakes/supports but that's a great idea to increase the amount of growing space available.
drhookmec said:3rd year Hallertau they just keep getting taller and taller may haft to cut them back soon.
That pole is 12', A definite improvement from last year
since they only got abought 5' tall.
Something is just now starting to nibble away at the leaves but the only thing i've found so far are ants and i didn't think ants cared for hops.
