Hops and Raking

Got another 1.5 rows raked out and nearly ready for plastic. They just need to be trenched which I'll do right before plastic so all the trenches don't wash in.

Also planted 10 hops plants. Starting from the road and going towards the woods:
- Brewers Gold
- Brewers Gold
- Mt. Hood
- Mt. Hood
- Fuggles
- Northern Brewer
- Nugget
- Sterling
- Sterling
- Newport

They're only planted 4-5 feet apart right now and only have about 6' to climb so there's still some work to do and they'll have to be transplanted next year. Still, at least they are in the ground! If I ever grow hops in a greenhouse again I need to remember not to put all the pots next to each other. It took an hour to de-tangle the 10 plants!
