Hop Growing 2014 season (Part 3)


Well it's been a while since I blogged about how my Hops are getting on, there is so much weight on the flagpoles that they are bending in towards each other so I've lost a fair bit of height. 

The other issue is that due to the fact I scrimped on the supporting string, the hops have slid into each other, so the Target and Goldings are now all wrapped up in each other. 

On the up side, it looks as though I'll get a good size harvest from all the plants, as there are loads of flower buds on them all.

I've learnt a lot from this years growing and intend to move the plants so they can grow up a pole wigwam fashion so hopefully the plants wieght will counteract each other as they grow.
