I purchased three hop rhizomes this year. Got them planted, but shortly after had some issues with some flooding. Since that time I have had one bine pop up on the Cascade and Columbus, and two bines on the Kent Goldings. The Cascade has reached about 1.5', but doesn't seem to be growing as fast as I have heard it should. Same things for the other two, but they are only about 1'.
So My question is, should I fertalize, or just leave them alone?
I know not to expect much the first year, but I have read others with bines like 8' tall in the first year...
