VF Hop Garden Update!

While the fair headed men (Drew and Crispian) brewed a nifty APA on Saturday morning 30th October, i was pruning and training hop vines in the South East of South Australia.
I mild start to the spring has seen vigorous growth from the Columbus and new Cascade cuttings, the Chinook however has not taken off like it has in past years.
Not to worry - Cascade looks healthy - so APA freaks like us can rest easy knowing it handles the hot dry finish with style....

Before:

Healthy Columbus plants growing vigorously, about 5-10cm per day.

Cascade, you would not know that they were mostly first season cuttings...

VF Hop Garden update "Summer" Coming Soon....
