All things die
This year, after having a wonderful early spring with sun and warmth a plenty, Mother Nature decided to be a real dick for about 5 weeks. With cool temperatures and more rain than i knew what to to with, all my my hop plants died. Or so I thought. After a good amount of care, fertilizing, and pruning of dead leaves, my hop plants have recovered, starting to grow once more. Hopefully I can still get some harvest out of my two second year hops, but the first year are really struggling. Here are some pics:
Nugget second year
Goldings second year
Sterling year 1
- Willamette year 1
My sterlings look the same. Next year they should be more robust.
i really hop so! I’m just glad there is new life showing up
