Hop Plant not thriving
Hi. I planted hop plants 2 seasons ago. All seemed well 1st year when the plants cropped and produced a modest crop (2 ounzes). I wasn't expecting a lot given it was a new plant and so that seemed fine and looked forward to this year when i expected more.
This year all seemed to start off well and the plants developed stems and grew through June and July at the expected rate. However growth seemed to tail off and the plants then didn't produce a crop at all.
Any ideas what is should do over the winter and beyond to start to see a good crop each year. I grow in large tubs against an east facing wall so in sun from Dawn until about 1/2pm during the summer
