Hopefully this one won't be f***ing eaten.

You guys are making me jealous. 1 1/2 weeks in the ground and still nothing. Hope I didn't get duds.

Like I said before, the plants of mine that are climbing up are second-year growths. None of my first-year new rhizomes have done anything. RDWHAHB!

 

[foonder]

Mine is 1st year, about 2 weeks in the tiny pot.

Mine first one (the one in the ground) got planted around the 16th of Mar. and the second one in the pot was planted around the 20th. I didn't think anything was happening and then they just sprouted up one day. Be patient.

 

[reshp1]

No worries, it's been really cold the last few days, so that's most likely the reason.
Just getting a little hops envy looking at everyone elses.

I am wicked excited, my cascade broke ground today after 10 days in the ground!! Still waiting on magnum

Here's growth on one of my plants from April 09 - April 17 (Today). It seems a bit slow for 8 days, but what do I know, I'm just a noob.

8 Days Later...

Not bad I guess

That chute was so badass it held up against whatever had dug up my growing area (See Thread "Something ATE IT >=(" )

From left to right:
Cascade, Nugget, Mt. Hood, Willamette

Rhizome planted in mounds of compost/manure, peet, topsoil with mulch on top
Hose on timer with holes poked at each mound

Chain links welded to rebar to attach the 1/4" twine at the ground.

Still a work in progress but am rather proud of it so far. Got the trellis idea from here. Two Cascade, Two Willamette, a Davenport Golding and a Hallertau. The Hallertau and one Cascade are 2nd year transplants from growing them on the chain link fence. The Golding just came out and the Jumbo Cascade from freshops has 5 shoots out already.

This is the Hallertau 5 days ago. It has since tripled in size. I will update when the sun comes out again.

Here's my 3rd year Cascade, already 6' tall:

And my Centennial are trying to catch up:

Both need some trimming..

 

[Schlenkerla]

Mt. Hood Apr. 19, 7 a.m.

Here's my Fuggle at one week.

 

[SirFizzle]

Two of the rhizomes sprouted yesterday...
Cascade:

and Nugget:

 

[david_42]

Four days of frost and two of snow. All of the hops are doing fine. The Willamette looks like some of the shoots are damaged, but there's about ten that look fine. The Cascade forest has grown 2-4" in the last 24 hours, snow or no.

[fratermus]

My goldings finally sprouted aboveground today, about 2wks after the Cascade came up.

 

[clemson55]

Heres my hops Fuggles, Cascade, Mt Hood in that order. The Mt Hood came up within a couple days of planting a good week or more before the others.

 

[rhag1128]

Holy Cow what happened!!!! 2 weeks growth

[/IMG]


No Cascade shortage here.

 

[david_42]

Looks like you could have pickled a few shoots.

Looks like you could have pickled a few shoots.

Still can, I reckon. Mine look similar to the picture above.

 

[joed123]

first year willamette...about 5", after 2 weeks in the ground in southeastern PA weather...i'm pumped!!!

 

[paranode]

Here are some pics of my Fuggles and Kent Goldings at a little over 2wks.

Not as fast as some of the other ones seen here but they seem to be doing well.

Hey! I've been looking for my gnome....

 

[rhag1128]

He is toting a barrel of beer in his cart.......

How do I go about determining which shoots to pinch off?
Last year I had about 10strong shoots - it was easy to tell, now Im not so sure....

 

[clemson55]

I'd say just pick a couple. You have a few dozen large ones to choose from.
