Continuing Recovery

Both plants are continuing their recover and have a lot of new growth that's starting to replace all the leaves that mysteriously died off. The Cascade has grown a lot of new leaves and there are quite a few new bines racing up the twine. The new growth on the Nugget is appearing much slower, making the plant appear very thin and unhappy. It looks like both plants are getting back on track, but I'm not feeling very positive about the chances of getting a good crop of hops this year. The photos below show all the new growth on the lower portion of both plants with the Nugget on the left and the Cascade on the right.
