Hop Farm, March 22 2008

Half of the bottom row is planted with Chinook. I've tried for 2 years to establish cascade hops in the same section sadly without success. Chinook and Centennial, sharing the top row of farm, grow remarkably well. We leveled out more of the bottom row and plan to hit with a fertilizer and mulch it well. Hopefully, chinook and centennial will do just as well on the bottom row as they have been doing on the top row. Very tired after doing just about 4 hours of work. Ed helped out tons. He pruned nearly every mound! We will have a bit of time to do a little work tomorrow though Easter gatherings will keep us drinking more than working.
