[Brew-list] Happy May - Hops!

[Bryan Berndt]

both my Willamette's at my 'garden plot' are up, and a little bushy
looking, and not very tall.  I'll have to start stringing them up in a week
or so.  I took cuttings, and gave some to Nathan, and kept one for the new
place im renting.  I have one shoot coming up, about 3 inches tall so far.

When I first planted my Willamette's, one came up and the other didn't.  I
carefully removed the dirt on top of it, as opposed to 'digging it up'.  I
found that I had planted it upside down, and the shoots were coming out of
the 'bottom', and had to loop around to the top to come up.  I flipped, it,
and it came up, but only grew half as much as the other one the first year.
 its caught up finally this (3rd) year i think; they both look about the
same bushiness.
