Hop crop 2017

[TwistedGray]

In their second year: cascade, magnum, nugget, and willamette. I got nothing from them last year because I planted them a bit too late, and they also only get sun through about 1-2pm +/- so not the ideal location.

Nugget is about 5'5" tall at this point +/- a few inches.

Took the picture when I got home from work today.Chinook on the left and a Cascade on the right.Not bad for early July in Calgary Alberta.The other pics are before and after pics of the tree from hell.It is on the pie lot property next door and it is collectively owned by 4 people none of which want to be responsible for it.Last year I had enough of the damn thing not only menacing my property but also dropping sap and leaves on it so I had an arbourist trim it back.

5.5 ozs of cascades today, it'll be in a kettle OF IPA Sunday. That's half my current cones, the rest will be ready tomorrow. And there are thousands of burrs coming out. That hailstorm pruning worked wonders.

I got about another 6 ozs today, I'll let them dry until Sunday and toss them all in the kettle at flameout for a Centennial/Cascade pale ale.

My hops are doing very well. I've got bines well over 30 going in all directions. I had to go in and add support wire to several lines.

NY burrs coming in, a couple bines are over 25' long. Fighting the downy

One great thing about growing hops in our arid region is that I have no problems with downy mildew o any other diseases. Next month leafhopper infestations will start munching my plants but that's all I have to worry about.

Aren't hops poisonous to dogs?
Do you do anything to prevent them from getting to the cones? Or is it just that your pup is too smart and knows better?

Ha, fought those off last month when they cut hay across the road.

Hops are toxic to dogs, but I doubt a dog would eat fresh hops because of the extreme bitterness. The problems come when hops have been boiled in sweet wort, that's when dogs might eat them.

They are, but my dog doesn't have any interest in them. She has been around them for four years and she hasn't had one. They are too far up for her, and when I harvest she isn't helping. Thanks for the concern.

Same boat ... was wondering all Summer when they'd start popping in. I had to start running them alongside the gutter.
