Pretty horrible pun. I'm sorry. I just got some super hot pics from the Colorado Springs garden today as Ryan rushed out during a pause in the rain. It's been a pretty rainy weekend up here in Fort Collins and Greeley. No pictures of the Greeley plants but let me assure you that the Nugget is doing awesome. I also have planted Cascade and Galena in Greeley.
After no signs of life from the Galena I finally dug up the rhizome and to my surprise there were tons of shoots coming off of it. It was almost as if they were growing downward though. Not sure how this is possible. Anyway, I flipped it and anticipate it should break ground this week.
There were also three plants in the Springs that didn't grow. I thought that 6 had come up but was mistaken. We lost both of our Cascade plants. Luckily, the Cascade in Greeley are growing.
I ordered three more plants from freshops and am hoping that they arive this week. I guess I fear that the order may go for next season and not this one so I'm keeping my ears open as to whether they are received on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It looks like we ran into some weed issues too. I'm not sure if there were weed seeds in the mulch I bought or what, but I feel pretty crappy about it. The only place that is growing weeds is in the hop garden which is why we're thinking it was the mulch. Ryan has vowed to pull them which is super awesome, but I still wish I knew the root cause (no pun intended). Here's some pics. As you can see, the Mt. Hoods are getting close to needing the line to climb.
Not sure if I mentioned it, but we used clothesline for the diagonals.
