I'm not the sharpest bulb in the shed, but isn't that a marigold..? ;-)

Just built my first year trellis. I only have one spot on the side of the house that I used for my Cascade. This trellis will have Centennial & Fuggles. About $100.00 worth of materials and a sore back.

Planted Magnum, Nugget and Centennial last Thursday, 1st time growing hops. can't wait!!!
Here is my Magnum today!!!!
Looper said:3rd year Chinook, Centennial, Cascade, and Sterling plants. Out of 8 plants, 7 have broken the surface.
On the plants that have grown long enough to train, I've selected 3 bines to train on each side of the "V".... Trimmed all of the other bines back..

@ indytrucks...you might want to consider adding guy lines from the sides of your poles while you still can. Perhaps, you could put eye-bolts on the fence adjacent and tie into them. Those bines will get mighty heavy through the season and I'm not sure those HF poles will support that kind of weight. Guy lines do a lot to help disperse weight and tension. There's nothing worse than having to band-aid a fix mid-season when the bines come tumbling down. Just an idea...
