Hops

I planted hops in the late spring in Cooperstown. Cascade. They started well, and reportedly are still going strong. Haven't seen them since July 4th. Some visitors have been minding and watering them.

I'll be harvesting around labor day. Then drying and storing. Hope to use them in a future brew.

Being the first year, they don't grow tall or produce too much. Next year could be 25 feet and hopefully lots of cones.
