Just needa wait till I can make some noise then I can build another support for them.

A couple weeks ago the weather or maybe some critter “topped” a few of them and they started bursting from lower nodes.

Well that should give it another month hopefully.

Lookin' good, partner! I'm planting hops next year, but I'm still planning out my support system. I want them tall (10-20 feet) to block out the neighbor's junk yard.

For that height, definitely use aircraft cable or heavy gauge wire - regular twine will snap under the weight when those suckers get 20ft tall and full of cones (learned that one the hard way lol).

I hope you have them in something that has a bottom - hops roots are crazy long and getting rid of hops once they spread is MUCH harder than any weed I've dealt with.
