Hop Garden Update

This is a small update on the progress of our hop garden. We are growing one hop plant inside a downtown Toronto apartment and two other hops plants at our farm out in Kingston. Here is their progress so far:

The downtown hop plant had grown quite a bit in 32 days. However, I noticed that the growth had started diminishing for about a week so I decided to grab some fertilizer. Growth continued after a sprinkling of Miracle Gro Shake 'n Feed. There were also a few insects hanging around the pot so I laid out some fly paper. Now 38 days after planting, the growth has continued.


The hops being grown at the farm took a little longer to sprout. We are growing both Fuggles and Cascade hops there and this is them peaking out 18 days after being planted.
Even though they took a while to get started, they look like they are growing fast. Here they are 5 days later, or 23 days since planting.

Stay tune for more updates on the hop garden!
