Hops Update #3: They're HERE!!!!


Looks like the cascades are crossing the finish line first this year, probably due to the sunlight they've received and their conduciveness to the midwestern climate. I have about a dozen full-sized cones that I'm watching carefully to determine harvest time. There are burrs on the nuggets, and the wilamettes are producing laterals at an almost alarming rate, so there's plenty to look forward to in the coming month.

Nice! I've got a cascade plant with lots of cones growing on my deck banister.
