Hops can take a frost but not without hardening off. You prob don't want to leave the garage door open over night to get them used to the chilly air
Watch out for males they could mess up all the others if they cross pollinate and go to seed.At last count I had 29 bines up and growing, six freshly planted rhizomes(19 more on order) and 2 feral hop crowns with marker stakes by them for transplant in a safe location(they are growing near a road don't want them to get sprayed).
Is that still 1st bine growth? I recently read that the 1st bines can be trimmed back because they don't produce nearly as many cones/flowers as subsequent binesI have a few plants outside that are poping up through the ground but is going below freezing here. I am a bit worried to put my new ones in the ground yet. But I have to do something soon they are taking over my Model A.View attachment 15351
If I replant the feral hops, they’ll be a LONG way from the rest.Watch out for males they could mess up all the others if they cross pollinate and go to seed.
Happy holidaysSorry to say that I dug my plant up on the weekend, and I felt terrible doing it. I just don't have the space, or a good place for it. Growing a different kind of plant instead
Your frog isn't looking so good...Looks like I have some bug repellent in my hops. Keep in mind these plants have been in my garage since fall.View attachment 15404

No. Well, maybe. I took (with permission) about 1/2 pound of cones. So I helped them do a little less work...You helping out Don?
