Hops II

Exactly a week ago I wrote about my hops and also showed you a picture of it. It is amazing what can happen in just a week! The lone sprout trying to make it without the support of neither the pole nor any other sprouts, has now been joined by several new sprouts and is continuing "up,up and away". It is a doomed endeavor but still something to admire. At the same time, the plant has started to branch out in a serious way and it is looking more and more like a tree. It must be all the rain and the fertilize that I gave it that is pushing it. You can draw a lot of conclusions from this and the most important one is probably that the top benefits if the ground is watered and given plenty of fertilizers!
