vinpaydoc was really awesome to me, and hooked me up with some cascade plants earlier this spring. Sadly, my black thumb served to thin them out, leaving me with four bines.
They were growing very slowly, but growing. I had them all potted; two on my deck, two on my driveway, in the hopes of finding the idea spot to grow them.
Those in the driveway were starting to outperform the deck plants, to the point that I considered moving all four down there. Sunday, though, tragedy struck.
I went to check my driveway plants while brewing, when I found that some evil varmint had removed almost every single leaf from both plants. The main vines were intact, the tiny little branches were intact, but the leaves were just... *gone*. There may still be five total leaves between them.
Two of my three strongest plants are gone (at least, I figure they are gone). I am left with Scarlett and a little runt of a plant.
So much for that wet hopped ale I had been dreaming of brewing later on this year..

They probably wouldn't have produced much this year anyway. Plant them this Fall and they'll do better next season.

I'm still sad. I mean, YOU had harvest last year!
I still don't know if the two nigh-leafless ones will make it.

Yeah, I did, but, I started with rhizomes in the Spring, not shoots. Scarlett might have been your only hop(e).

She's easily the biggest of them. But her leaves are yellower than I would like.

Never fear. I've got 32 shoots growing into crowns in the sandbox hop farm at the moment. You have reinforcements.

The sandbox farm. I love it.

I should really get some hops going up at our land, but its really not the kind of place you want them. Swampy, boo.
I guess i could put them by the garden which gets watered plenty and is on high ground...maybe add some sand to the soil before tilling it? Hell, i think thats how the whole garden is.

Deer.
They got my peppers and tomatoes last year. Only ate the leaves.

Thats why we shoot deer :)
Though we did just see a mother coon with about 5 little ones out there a few nights ago...
