July 23, 2007 – Hops Progress
The hops we planted this year are making a tentative start.
The experimental hops we planted this spring are making their way up the trellis. I’ve been rather surprised that we are having a bit of a pest problem with these – as there are not many hops around to breed pests. There are tent caterpillar-like worms that we’ve been picking off the leaves.
