Drunken Lemur Hops

Here’s a couple pictures of my Cascade & Nugget hops, which are just starting to sprout. Baby Cascade hops sprouting. Baby Nugget hops sprouting. The Golding hops have not begun to sprout yet, and I haven’t received the Columbus, Galena, Centennial, and Chinook rhizomes from the supplier yet.
