4 out of the 5 bines are taking off, ones lagging a little behind the others. Planted 5 cascade hops rhyzomes around the middle of May.
The patio will be raised quite a bit off the ground on the side they would going, so it’ll be a solid concrete wall it’ll have to grow through before that’s an issue.
It’s all been figured out to be able to use for trees if not other shade plants. Most issues come from too thin slabs, I can’t do that or it’ll be destroyed by the first winter anyways ;)
