The hops at home are growing great. There is a total of 52 plants growing. Pole #1 has Mt Hoods (8) on the left and Magnums (8) on the right. Pole #2 has Centennial (7) on the left and Cascade (8) on the right. Pole #3 has Sterling (8) on the left and East Kent Goldings (7) on the right. The 3 poles are fenced and the 2 corners on the left have Mt Hood (2) and the 2 corners on the right have East Kent Goldings (2). From the ground to the deck are 2 Fugges.

Mt Hood Rhizome for next spring. This is a 4 ft rhizome running about 1 inch in the ground from the base and popping up. Next spring I will cut the rhizome at the base and pull it out of the ground. I will cut the 4 ft rhizome into 3 to 4 inch section. Each section will product a new plant in 2012.
