Hop Trellis is UP!!

This is so cool.
So, I am now a hop farmer. 11 out of 12 plants are above ground, ready to climb, baby, climb!!OK, so truth be told
I had next to nothing to do with constructing this thing of beauty. Sure, I planted the suckers, but the trellis was 100% my roommate. Dude put this up in one day. Thanks, Alex!!
He anchored the 8' 4x4 beams on cement blocks and buried them just under the surface of the soil. With the bottom board steadying the two from underneath, the adjustable eyehooks and wires at top really give the thing really sturdy construction. It's ready to support some bushy plants.
