Here is how mine are doing. The two larger ones are Centennial and the tiny one is Fuggle. You can see some leaf damage from Japanese Beetles.

A couple days after you left the cascade cones really began to grow. They are about dime size. Nothing on the others though. Maybe next year

A lot of people have been complaining about Saaz hops not starting or giving poor yields... I'd recommend replacing Saaz with Sterling, which grow MEGA fast and yield huge amounts.

Sterling was designed as a replacement for Saaz, so its pretty good.

I harvested off my Centennial today. I am hoping to get another harvest out of them this season. The Fuggles and still growing. They haven't put out any flowers yet at all. I got about 2oz. Not much, but I didn't expect much this year. It will probably only be about 1oz dry.

My hops sucked this year. Colombus and Cascade. The Cascade did much better than the Columbus, but I think that was luck more than anything else. They were both attacked by a mold/fungus of some sort. Fusarium wilt abound!

I think my area (Northern California, North Oakland) is too wet/cool in the morning. Perfect for mold growth. Maybe not so great for hops..
