Shamus O'Sean Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 My Goldings crown has sprouted nicely. The other Goldings is also sprouting 18 inches away from the crown where underground roots have spread. The Red Earth and Cascade have poked out too, but are not as advanced. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 After an extremely underwhelming performance last year, mine are off to a better start this time around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Starting to worry about mine. I took it out of its pot a month and a half ago and put it in a raised garden bed. Nothing has come up yet. Ill wait to mid october and if nothing is happening then ill dig it up and see whats going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeastyBoy Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Nope, zip, bare earth, nothing. Maybe they are still sleeping? Really think mine have gone to God or compost!! POR RIP!! Think the lack of the irrigation in Autumn was the fatal blow. Back to the drawing board...…. Cheers YB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loch Brewer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Repotted my Goldings, Saaz, Pride of Ringwood and Fuggles just recently. Used quality potting mix this time instead of my home mad stuff so hope all goes well. The Cascade that I planted in the ground last year and pretty much did nothing, is there, poking a couple of heads up , so hopefully it'll go a bit better this year too. After a disastrous year last year when most of them got frazzled in a heat wave just as the side shoots were emerging.............

Cheers YB My POR only broke ground 3 or 4 days ago. Give it a bit longer mate. They are hard to kill plants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 My Cascade is getting higher. Hopefully some of those other shoots find their way to a line soon too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice79 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This year it will be 3rd year - 1 cascade, 2 Chinook , 2 Victoria and 1 4th year Victoria. next year I will dig up all crowns and split the rhizomes and spread out. This weekend is fortifying the trellis and re stringing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some of those other shoots find their way to a line soon too. You might have to manually get some of the other shoots started up the stringline. With mine it is almost as if the shoots from the same plant do not want to climb the same line in case they might stifle the first shoot. The second shoot also seems to veer away from the stringline as if looking for another support. Yours might start climbing the wire surround. Your plants are coming along nicely though. @Maurice79, yours look good too, especially the one in the second photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yeah I'll see what happens. Usually I just leave them, eventually they get long enough and find a line. One of them tried growing through the fence into the neighbours yard but I think it fell back through to our side Over next winter I'll be digging them up again to fridge some rhizomes. During that time I'll top up the soil so it's not such a low amount in there. Being a flat surface might prevent them sort of falling away from the lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the right way to go. More natural. Mine are coming along okay, but the colder Melbourne climate means I am a few weeks behind you. I have to run new stringlines this weekend. Although I used polyline last year it has oxidised a bit and may not last the extra season. Also the hops seemed to prefer climbing twine the year before. But the twine did not last the growing season and needed some reinforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 That's why I bought rigging wire. It'll probably last me a lifetime. The wooden trellis will probably have to be replaced at some point though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
