My 3rd year willamette did not do too well. About 2oz. My first year cascade has produced about 4 oz so far and probably another 2 coming. My first year brewers gold has produced 3oz so far and another 2oz still on the bines.

my 2nd year cascade and chinook yielded enough to fill a 5 gallon bucket 6 times (30gallons) and I can still get another bucket or two. last year my hops "budded" 2 times in the season -end of aug and oct - is that normal ??

My 3rd year Goldings are finally taking off, the old unknowns (prob Cascades) are loaded & the 3rd year Nuggets are looking pretty good. I'm harvesting mine this weekend.

i wish my hops were doing something, i planted them around april/may and the tallest is about 5.5 ft to 6 ft tall, and they are all pretty small as far as leaves and everything go, i am hoping next year will be better for them

I already harvested a couple (dry) ounces off my cascades. This weekend I plan to harvest just about everything. 4 Cascade Bines, 3 Perle and 1 Late Cluster. Looks like quite a harvest this year.

I am excited to plant rhizomes for myself this year. I live in a townhome and my back patio has a garden area. I was just going to put up a small lattice wall that is semi-attached to the house. Think it'll work?

Living in an apartment I can't grow any but I'm trying to convince my in laws to let me grow some in their back yard, I may leave out the part of them taking over.

Reddskinnfan- If your lattice is running east-west, you'll have better luck than if it is north-south. More sun for all the bines, that way.

So far, I've collected about 1/2 pound dry of Cascade (2nd year) and 1/2 pound dry (3rd year) of my Mount Hood. I've barely gotten 4 ounces from my Cascades. Anyway, I must have double of everything still on the bines that are not yet ready. It's been an OK kind of year.

we harvested 11 dry ounces of columbus and about 4 dry ounces of cascade, both are first year plants. Hoping to have a massive harvest next year. I've heard of people getting 7 lbs from their plants.
