Once again the centennial hops is crushing the golding hops like it is no ones business. When I took some measurements today 5/3/09, one vine of the centennial has already reached 6′, while the golding is barely an inch off the ground. The difference is almost shocking.
I guess that I’m glad that I made the hop trellis A-frame close to 20′ tall, because the centennial is going to need it this year. In just one day from 7pm on 5/2 to 7pm on 5/3 the centennial grew a whole foot. Yikes!!

Is the Centennial Taller than last year already? That think looks like it’s will be a monstah!

Yes, it is already taller then all of last years growth. The only thing slowing it down is overcast weather.

Supa’s hops are already taller than his dad (who is in turn taller than Supa). Sounds like it’s going to be a fantastic harvest season.

I did a quick measure when I got home from work, and I can’t reach the top of the centennial vine anymore. So its at least 8′ tall for the centennial, while the golding is less then a 1′ tall.
