Our Cascades were in bloom (I believe this is as close to technical as we get on the farm for a pre-burr stage name) around the end of June/early July. <BR/><BR/>The hops were burrs about the 10th of July and have now begun their slow transformation into cones. Currently we are projecting to harvest our Cascades around September 3rd. <BR/><BR/>This gives us an average period of about 7 to 8 weeks to move from burr to mature cones. <BR/><BR/>Raising hops is a constant learning experience and will hopefully become easier with time. <BR/><BR/>TylerHopsdirecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376124531736392639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784136989693494776.post-70300937695649122882008-07-23T20:30:00.000-07:002008-07-23T20:30:00.000-07:00Absolutely love this blog.

Keep the updates coming.<BR/><BR/>On average, how long does it take to transform from burr stage to ready to harvest cone?<BR/><BR/>And are their any technical terms in the hop world that describe the pre-burr stage where there seems to be buds that are mini cone shaped?<BR/><BR/>My hop growing skills don't seem to be panning out this year, but I have a good source of some wild hops (which I used in a brew last year) that I am keeping a close eye on.LStaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954146129621744177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784136989693494776.post-58146375510063705502008-07-18T08:13:00.000-07:002008-07-18T08:13:00.000-07:00Cascades do love some heat, ours got off to a slow...Cascades do love some heat, ours got off to a slow start and are a little behind after a cool May and June here in the Valley. Your Cascades sound like they are a little ahead of an average year for us and we normally harvest ours right around the 1st of September. <BR/><BR/>TylerHopsdirecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376124531736392639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784136989693494776.post-3401983989512820912008-07-18T06:55:00.000-07:002008-07-18T06:55:00.000-07:00My first year Cascade from Puterbaugh looks as ful...My first year Cascade from Puterbaugh looks as full of cones(maybe more) as the one on the left in your picture.
