Just figured I'd share a few pics of my hops yard. I planted 100 Nugget and Zeus rhizomes this year. These will all be sold commercially to local breweries. I have plans to expand in the future, but didn't want to get in over my head starting out.  Anyway, enjoy and Prost!

And a little "quality control" in my home brew Helles.

Dude, AWESOME.

Thanks for sharing.  Let us know how it goes.

Question: how hot does it typical get at peak summer for you?

100 with heat index of 110+. It will stress them a bit, but these are both very hardy varieties of hop.

Nice!

I tried growing a single centennial plant.
The first year it grew about a foot.   Second year it grew about 7ft and made some hop cones, and I thought I was on the way.  This year, back to about a foot.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong; maybe it is the heat here.

Had a little harvest day today. Some of the Zeus plants were ready. Harvester made quick work of it. Over 70lbs of wet hops. They'll need to be dried and packaged.
