Thanks to our mild winter, my hops have decided it's time to wake up. Having spent the last two years trying to keep up with their growth by building a trellis as needed, I decided to bite the bullet and build a real trellis ahead of time.

That's awesome. My next house will have a hop garden/trellis of some kind. I'm thinking cascades, centennial, colombus and chinook. I've never asked, but is all the work with the tending/care and harvesting and drying worth it?

Yes.
is all the crushing, cleaning, boiling, chilling, and sanitizing worth it?

I have 1 cascades plant on the side of my garage, I just picked up 3 more, and planted them on Tuesday.
Last year i lost them due to the hurricane that came up the east coast, hopefully this year will be better!

My Cascades are about 4 feet tall already here in CT. I was hoping to have my trellis repaired from storm damage last year but I haven't had a chance. Best get moving.

8foot Magnums, 4foot Nugget, 3foot sterlings and my little cascades are only about 2 feet.
1st year with more than 1 variety, so cool how the plants look different didn't expect much of a difference.
Spring in PA.

My 3rd year Cascades are over 13' and ran out of stuff to grow on. My other 4 varieties of new plantings are 2-3' high. Exciting times!
