I have a couple of varieties of hops that seem to be ripening earlier than others, the cones are already large, and look like they might be ready to harvest soon. Problem is I can't find where I noted positions of hops in garden, so I don't know what they are. Trying to use this early ripening trait to help guess at ID.
The cones on my Cascade (one of the few where I remembered placement) are only about half developed, for reference. Both of these early flowering hops are doing quite well, with Cascade being only variety growing faster, if that is a clue, so they are probably in the "easier to grow" category.
Possibilities include Crystal, Mt Hood, Sterling, Willamette and Tetanger. Slight possibility of Golding, but pretty sure that one did not survive first season. One of the others did not make it either, but not sure which.
