Hops Update #2: Here Come the Hops!

As of today, the Cascades and Nuggets are almost to the top of the trellis, with the Wilamettes not too far behind. I think since the Cascades get the most sun they're the farthest along, which is why I've got cones on the Cascades. Burrs have started on the others, and if these are any indication I should start seeing cones in another 10 days or so on the other two varieties.

Hops Update #1

Here is a picture taken this morning of the current state of my hops. I've got 2 each of Cascades, Nugget and Wilamette, and the Cascades seem to be doing the best, but I think this may be a matter of light as the mulberry tree growing in our neighbor's yard is shading a good portion of the hop yard.

This was the result of Chris Frey's inquiry on the AHA Tech Talk board as to some of the more stupid actions of brewers. Mikey wasn't actually there for the event, but his brother John was, and as I recall him telling the story he just couldn't understand what I was doing. Neither could I.
