Just needa wait till I can make some noise then I can build another support for them.

A couple weeks ago the weather or maybe some critter “topped” a few of them and they started bursting from lower nodes.

    Lookin’ good, partner! I’m planting hops next year, but I’m still planning out my support system. I want them tall (10-20 feet) to block out the neighbor’s junk yard.

      For that height, definitely use aircraft cable or heavy gauge wire - regular twine will snap under the weight when those suckers get 20ft tall and full of cones (learned that one the hard way lol).

    I hope you have them in something that has a bottom - hops roots are crazy long and getting rid of hops once they spread is MUCH harder than any weed I’ve dealt with.
