Hey Mash Paddlers and Hop Growers, I have some shoots coming up in my garden right where my chinook hops are planted (second year). These shoots do not look like hops to me, but they’re only popping up right above the chinook roots. Can someone tell me if these are in fact shoots for Chinook hops?

I’m not plant-saavy enough to say what those are but they sure don’t look like hops to me. I grew chinooks when I lived in Oregon and I don’t remember their shoots looking any different than other hops.
Nope. Looks like bind weed. Hops generally come up looking sort of like an asparagus shoot at first, then they pop out little side leaves that kind of look like marijuana leaves (actually they are close cousins to marijuana).
Aaron – I’m sure your hops (and everyone else’s) are really taking off right about now. That winter weather we had back in mid-April was a real head-slap to mine (the first 2 to 6 inches of each vine died back). I ended up just clear cutting to the ground and starting over. I snapped this pic a little while ago…..barring any heavy hail today, they look like they’re back on track.
