Hey Everyone,
I finally tried my hand at Hop growing this year, and it seems fairly successful (so far). I knew nothing when I started in early May. Just monkey see, monkey do.
I planted a Cascade, Centennial, Willamette, and Chinook rhizomes.
It seems 1 bine, as you see in the above picture, for each rhizome, has taken off. My cascade is now 8 feet tall, which I did not expect in this first year, and I'm practically out of room on my trellis (but that is another conversation).
My biggest question is it seems each rhizome has another bine that only sprouted out a few inches, and it is not moving, while it's 'twin' is taking off. Is this normal?
Please note, this above pic is when my cascade started sprouting. There were two sprouts like this. One sprout took off. One close by that isn't in the picture, hasn't. And that is common for all 4 of my varieties.
