Just wondering... who is growing hops? I started growing hops three yrs ago just to say I grew them. I didn't think the climate and soil conditions here in the midwest would promote good growth. I have two cascade and two fuggle plants. The fuggle is 3 yrs old and the cascade is in its second yr. Both varieties have grown to about 25 feet tall so far this year. The cascade is loaded with cones (towards the bottom... flowers abundant towards the top), the fuggle not so much.
I harvested just 1 oz. from each plant last yr.... disappoinated in the yeild. Should I expect a larger yield?
