Man you are lucky to have a crop like that!! Wow! I know so many people that didn't get anything like that and they had cultivated plots with all of the trimmings! What is the variety?
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
The "bines" get a little over 20ft long. I run the twine where I want the hops to grow and everyday I may have to wrap the bine around the wine. If you grow them vertical, you won't have to touch them-they follow the sun, so train them clockwise up the twine(looking down on the plant). Definately grow them, I have so much fun with it. I have 15 hills right now and will grow to about 24 this spring with more varieties. When its hot, KEEP THE SOIL DAMP.
Is the zone area implying the irrigation usage? Frost will push the plant back but I know some guys who planted them on the east coast and had a good turnout toward the end of the season. The variety shown was a mix of Willamette, Cascade, Chinook, and Chelan. I plan on adding Galenas plus others to the cluster this spring. You can never have enough hops, especially now with the shortage. I definately cuts down on the cost of homebrewing.
Our winters get into the negatives for about a week long then it's the single digits/low 20's for the remainder of the winter-hops take alot and keep on growing. One thing to remember that might help, hops are a weed and very hard to get rid of. Hope this helps.
good lord! how much did you get at harvest, and how long did it take you to pick them?

The hops that ate St Paul!
I'd love to hear what variety these are. I will be planting some in a zone 4 area in New England, and am worried about getting 120 frost-free days.

The USDA zone relates to hardiness. Zone 4 means that temperatures get as low as 20 degrees f. below zero.
Since hops die back to the ground, I guess it is a matter of mulching heavily and hoping for the best.

You'll have a blast with them. I call them a hobby but my girlfriend calls it my "addiction".
