How are all your hops doing that you're growing?

[GFHomebrew]

No. Well, maybe. I took (with permission) about 1/2 pound of cones. So I helped them do a little less work...

I was wondering how full your pockets were.
1/2 pound of centennial?
Bag em on brew day...

I specifically didnt plant any corn or sunflowers in front. This year I'm crossing my fingers for a better turn out.

What ya growing people ask what are them jack in the beanstalk plants there lol!

Well let's see how my Fuggles do after a near direct hit from a large red oak that had to come down.

There's a little cluster of sprouting bines between the 2 perpendicular logs....oh well...

I have to cut 4 dead trees down soon that did block the wind, I'm not going to like this lol

 

[Tim Bulin]

They'll be fine, just be careful felling those trees.

 

[Ward Chillington]

Yeah...it's a about 15 seconds of celebration followed by 4 hours of back breaking work just to limb out the thing...I planked out a few pieces for some more utensils and cutting boards.

Here's my 2022/23 Cascade hops

Couple on for this year.
Most of the cones look ready I've got some late buds comming but I'm thinking about picking them soon.

 

[Zambi]

I would have thought you're too warm to grow hops?

Yeah SE QLD is far from hop growing region in Aus.
That's Victoria and back in the day South West WA oh and Tasmania.

But it bears a few cones for me to play around with.

If I grew an Australian hop like pride of ringworm maybe it'd go even better .

Whatcha gunna string em up on Ward?

I feel like we need a few hop trellis Ideas?

Mines just an old pool pole wired to a star picket here.
I string all the bines on that then wire it in place on the star picket and use tent pegs to pin the jute twine to the ground for the bines to climb.
