Hops 5/1/2013 Didn’t
See Them Yesterday
For review, I have 6 Mt. Hood hop bines. They are in their
second growth period. I am going to show their chronological growth through a few posts. Before the first hard frost last year, I applied well rotted cow manure, extra some
soil on top, and some wood mulch. I
wanted to protect the rhizomes from frost heave. I also wanted to let the frost
heave naturally work the manure into the soil. I kept the chicken wire around
the base to protect the root system. Squirrels will investigate everything that is new.
On May 1st, they came right out of the ground.
