I said in py last "Planting Day" post, that I cut a notch into the sides of my stakes and then tied a clove hitch fitted into that notch. It is my hope that the short stakes will hold in the ground with the weight of the full plant, which I have read can become quite heavy.
Who is more excited, me to find my hops arriving, or Ivy to look see what is under the chair cushion?
The variety and number of rhizomes. All the way from sunny California.
I found some old tile in my garage. Some sunny yellow spray paint and a black marker will do nicely for outdoor labels.
I am thinking that the yellow tiles will stand out once there is some real green growth coming through the straw.
The completed trellis. It will be fun to have a huge green tent full of fruit and vegetables in the back yard during the hottest part of the year.
