Week 5

So I decided to erect a temporary (well it may be temporary) trellis this weekend, so that I can train my hop bines when they get large enough:





As you can see the design is pretty simple and it took me no time at all to build once I had all of the parts together. I don't know if it will be sturdy enough but I need something in place now because I won't have time to work on it for a few weeks and this was much cheaper then buying three small trellis' at Home Depot. It should be able to support my three hop plants for the time being, and allow me to swap it in the future when I want to build a larger "more permanent" structure.

The hops are all coming along with the Mt Hood being the largest so far.
