my plants are facing sw. they get an hr of sun early on between the tree's then nothing direct until about noon. then direct sun until about 7.
I'm in the city with lots of large trees surrounding my yard. I do kinda like the shade.
and yeah if I lop a branch off a maple tree I think I can get another half hr of morning sun. but i'm holding off on that to see how things go.
the last few days have been sunnier and high 60s-low 70's so i've seen a spurt of growth.
All 4 are now over 2ft with one of the arcadia at 3 ft.
the heartwick are starting to get bushy on the bottom.
I have them surrounded by 2ft tall 1ft diameter chicken wire cages held together with zip strips to be easily removed.
How long before stupid woodchucks and the like are no longer interested in eating hop plants?
I had two last yr, thought I evicted them, but seems another one moved in.
they feasted on mine last yr.
twice.
