My two plants are doing great for the soil i have.My NB has some nice cones,a couple already have yellow lupilin out the sides.My Cascade is going to be a real bonanza of cones if they finish developing.Too soon to figure out how to use them, but they look promising.Oh, by the way i killed three beatles on them today,and missed atleast that many.Going to do some Jap beatle hunting in the morning.

My cascades are doing well overall, and putting out a lot of spurs and cones now. Unfortunately, a couple of the bines look diseased, and I'm not sure what I should do.My centennials, are slow but steady for the most part, just fairly unimpressive, and don't expect to get many cones from them this year.

Cascades are looking good. Some pests are munching on the leaves a little bit but nothing real serious yet. Looks like it will be a pretty good harvest this year

Hops evidently don't like really sandy soil. Year 4, they get about 2 to 4' then wilt off. Never more than a couple of cones. The first two years I was watering the hell out of 'em, fertilizer, etc. but I've given up.

My cascades are going crazy...already had some mature cones (maybe 10-15 or so) and have a crapton of small young cones on right now. Should be a good crop. Thinking of using them for dry-hopping.

The aphids got mine. I didn't want to use any pesticides so I released a box of lady bugs on them. They did their job and ate up all the aphids but not in time. My crop will be weak this year.
