A couple of days ago I had to add about five extra feet to the twine on my Nugget hops. The Nuggets are continuing to grow vigorously. The healthy cascade is still growing rapidly, though not as impressively as the Nuggets.
Unfortunately, the sickly Cascade is looking like a goner.
As for the fungus gnats, I've been letting my soil dry until I see the leaves at the top getting a little crispy before I water. I've also been watering with the garlic solution. The gnats aren't as plentiful as they were, but there's still a lot of them buzzing around my pots. I've also started putting out little dishes of vinegar mixed with a few drops of dish soap around the plants. The vinegar traps look like they're catching hundreds of gnats, but they don't stop coming. I didn't want to use poison on my plants, but I'm starting to reconsider now that I'm seeing gnats buzzing around my house (where they might land in my beer).
