Nah, they are on a window sill in my home office/gym. I don't exactly have any outside ground available to me. Tonight's low is supposed to be 40*F.See the top & bottom of this thread for images of how the planter is setup.https://www.brews-br...p?showtopic=105Are those outside? Must be a lot warmer down your way if they are...

Is this a first year hop? Only reason I ask is because my 2nd year hop is going gangbusters and came out of the ground with extremely strong shoots.Here's mine in my backyard last week. It's twice this size now and I planted another in a pot right beside it that is doing well.

Yep, first year hop with only one shoot from each rhizome, even though there were about 3 nubs on each rhizome when planted. Temps have hit over 80f lately, so everything is starting to grow.Is this a first year hop?

Baby those plants this year and you will be rewarded next year. I had 1 plant survive last year (mt. hood) and got 1/4 ounce off of it. I'm hoping for more this year, but am also planting 4 more rhizomes.Yep, first year hop with only one shoot from each rhizome, even though there were about 3 nubs on each rhizome when planted.

be patient, the pruning I was speaking of at least was thinning back the shots from 10 to just 3 or 4.Do people prune the leaves off of slow growing shoots? One shoot is 18" while the other is 5". I'm curious if I should prune the smaller one to get it to grow longer or just be patient.
