Hops 05-05-2013

My Mt. Hood hops jumped out the ground two days ago. They caught me completely off guard. This will be their second year. The bines are thick and dark green. They get full sun. I spread rotted cow manure over them last Fall. I covered them with mulch for the winter.  We've had warm sunny weather for about a week.  I water them every morning. They look happy.

I will post progress photos as they grow. The neighbors are going to love me if they grow to their full height of 40ft!
