The in-law of the guy that put the poles up, told me that he has Hops plants started , there
he has strings up and down the poles now, and across the tops of the poles.

Does anyone know if this guy is telling me stories?

I've had some growing on the side of the house before, for decoration. They would reach the peek of a 2-story house easily. One of those poles would have come in handy.

But when I think of hops, I think of Willamette Valley.

I've been growing Cascades in my backyard for three years now, and yes best results are achieved when they go up. They are not a vine, but a bine which means they don't stick to the rope but grow upward winding around the rope. A friend got them to go sideways on a fence, but I've never been able to get them to do that.

I am wondering now what the effect of corn fields on all four sides of his grow op will be.

and the chemicals that come with those fields, mostly.

We have been growing Cascade hops also for years. I don't use them but have had people come over and pick them. There just now starting to come on and it will be a few weeks until they are ready to pick.

I don't know if it is still true or not but Yakima, WA use to be the biggest hop producer in the nation.
