Last night was a long night...
I'll try to take pics this weekend.
I put up two more lines and planted the dryroot.
I planted 2 of the clippings that had rooted, but only one of them has a line to crawl up, I have to figure out how to add another line, or where to add another line might be a better way to put it.
AND- I nearly died last night, I noticed one of the plants got away from me, I have 2 shoots about 4" tall that can be cut, therefore in theory in a weeks time I will have 2-more to plant.
I got hops coming out my butt.
Maybe now is the time to put up another 12' section...

I suspect once again mother nature has decided to be nice to me.
I planted the 2 dryroots and the 2 clippings that had started to root on Tuesday night.
I got a lot of rain on Wednesday starting in the afternoon, and it is still raining.
These new plantings are getting more water than I could have ever given them.

Looks like it may be a Civic day.
