Wow, it has been some time since my last post. It seems to me that I have been full of unfulfilled promises regarding this blog...but honestly there are times when life gets crazy and something has to hit the back-burner. Unfortunately the blog is what suffered. I am happy to report that things are getting under control (for now), but my wife and I only have 2 1/2 weeks until the birth of our first child so I don't necessarily expect things to get easier anytime soon. SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME OVER THE NEXT MONTH OR SO! Doug and I will get back on track soon. Enough of that though...as for the hops.
The 2 rhizomes that were attacked by the possum are apparently dead. This is very unfortunate since the vines on these 2 rhizomes were the largest. The good news is the "forgotten" rhizomes which were left in pots on my porch are growing like crazy. I am in the process of building a new trellis to support them. Whats funny to me is that these 2 rhizomes were not "cared" for in any of the so called necessary methods. It just goes to show, sometimes plants just need a lot of sunlight, water, and to be left alone! Pictures to follow once trellis construction is done!

Mike, It's good to hear from you. Isn't it funny that your hops grew even when you didn't tend to them. I just goes to show how durable these things are. I thought I had lost all of mine earlier in the year when I had a deer eat off most of the leafs. Now they are all about 8 ft. tall and my Cascade has actual hops on it!
Looking forward to the next show whenever yoose guys get the chance.
Mike, congratulations on the new baby boy!
