64 and Counting...

We have had a lot of rain recently, which is probably good at this stage for the hops since I haven't put the irrigation system in yet.  I can report that the soil in the hop yard seems to be draining well, wich bodes well for the plowing and subsoiling that was done.  I don't have much more to report, but I did take a walk through the hop yard yesterday evening to take a count of what is coming up.  We currently have 64 bines that are clearly identifiable.  I believe that there will be more to come...so I think this is pretty good at this stage.  A few looked ready to climb something, so I best be getting busy on the trellis system!
