Do these look healthy?

[Rcole]

Base of the plants don't look so great. Growing in the New England area, so days have been wet then hot, but not intense. Any thoughts on the condition of these Cascades?

I think they look fine... all mine have yellowing at the base leaves as well.

The earliest leaves tend to do that later on in the growing season. Nothing seems to be abnormal other than the snowflakes on the fence in late July. Grow on!

 

[BradleyBrew]

I would probably weed, and remulch just to keep the competition for nutrients low by the base of the plant.

Yes, the grass is hogging nutrients from the base of the plant.

Thanks to all for the input. I'll put the kids to work weeding. Maybe .25 an hour, since they get free room and board, and free life-coaching lessons from me!

Ditto.. base of my hops have yellowing leaves, up high, where the action is, looks great!

Are they first year hops?
