My cascade hops are looking for something to climb. Fortunately I had a long weekend, I put the ground sockets in Friday, and yesterday I got the trellis up.
I couldn't find any ground anchors besides the ones you use for a dog run, and ended up using some screw things that came with a yard ornament, but they sucked, so today I cut some 20" sections of 1 3/4 pipe (chain link fence top rail), cross drilled them and peaned some appropriately sized nails in the holes, and pounded the puppies in flush with the ground. Believe me, they ain't coming out easy, and now the trellis is tight and humming.
This is an eight day old pic of one of the cascade babies. Today it is much taller and more filled out, and it has a definite viney look to the upper end. I hope to get my twine installed tomorrow and start training the bines.
