Well, the hops are coming up like gangbusters. Since I’m expecting them to grow quite high this year, I’ve built a trellis out of electrical conduit and twine.
The crossbar is 10 feet long, and around 12 feet high. The poles are driven three feet beneath the ground to avoid frost heave.
I’ve trained a couple of bines up from each plant, and pruned the others. You can sort of see them in the photo, but the light isn’t all that great. I’ll have more photos as the bines grow.
