janky as hell but it works.
left side is ratchet strapped to my weight bench through the window.
Right side is just pulled taut and high enough so I can walk under. I didn't want to damage the gazeebo by going to the tree behind it.
this should hold until harvest time.
Only lost a few dozen cones. i'll just put them in the camp fire.
The Arcadian on the right are starting to brown on some cones but can't tell from touch because they are soaked from the downpour.
I think they will be ready in a week or maybe more. when I bust them open they smell more grassy than hoppy.
the hartwick matured late last yr. I was bagging them late september after a week of drying.
both plants have some lower cones that are still new.
next yr I think i'm going with 4 4x 16's in the ground and building a 4 or 5 ft trellis to let them spread out so they aren't all bunched up and because it will support them better.
will only be about 12ft tall but from what i've seen these things will just take that extra vertical space and my harvest won't be hurt much.
hell I still have 9oz of hartwick from last yr.
