I live in Richmond, VA and over the last 3 weeks we have had quite a bit of rain to the point that I have not hand watered my hops for fear of over watering. Over the last week I have noticed that the leaves at the ground have been yellowing/browning and all of the thick foliage at the base of the plants has been eliminated leaving only the bare bine. The bines are all 10-15 feet high at this point and seem "normal" with the exception of at the ground level. There is even new growth in both containers. These are Mt. Hood and Cascades.
Did these simply get too much rainfall or is this due to something else. I have not discovered any bugs either.
Thanks for the feedback!
