No pics, but this year is the first time my hops have come back with a vengeance after harvest. Is that normal? It is bloody warm in SoCal.

Last year I had a Cascade do that. It was still growing in November in North Alabama. I'm waiting to see what a couple others do this year that haven't produced hops yet. We've had crazy dry hot weather all summer untill a couple weeks ago. We'll see.

Does growing hops up the side of the house affect the foundations? Hop roots are very woody and my fear is that they’ll dislodge the brickwork. Can I have advice on this, please?1st photo: 2nd year Zeus. 2nd photo: 7-y.o. Columbus (yeah, I know they're basically the same variety.) They're all flowering like crazy and it should be a good harvest this year.
I'm using old fermentation buckets as a poor-man's drip irrigation system since it's been really hot & dry here in Central Ohio the past few weeks.View attachment 690353 View attachment 690354

Fun find from 2021. I don't claim to be good at taking pictures or growing hops. 
I was told these are willamette by the person who gave me the rhizome.

That was the first year after moving a ~5 year old plant. I wasn't expecting it to grow very much but it did.
