Oh hell yeah, hal! Those look like they're getting pretty close.
Mine are growing like fire, and they all have little furry burr-looking things that I assume will grow into hop cones.
Whats the story with harvest? I heard somewhere that when they get to be sort of papery and light and springy feeling, its time to pick. Does that sound right?
After that, for drying, I see a lot of people using a wooden frame with screen on it. How about a dehydrator? And after they're dry, then what? Vacuum bags? zip locks? freezer or fridge or just a closet?
The summer heat is kicking in here in Louisiana. I hope my vines don't just wither away.
