Do these hops look ready to harvest yet?

[Monkhouse]

These are prima Donna first gold hops I’ve got growing at my mums allotment. She sent me this picture today (it’s hard to find the time to visit it myself!) anyway can anyone tell by the photo if they look ready yet? Or has it got more to do with how they feel?

Are you in the UK? I would have thought it is a bit early for UK hops to be ready.

They look further along than our museum hops here in the uk

I'm really glad someone asked this question. I'm growing centennial and chinook.
The Centennial are going nuts. But they're only as big as £1 and £2 coins. So from the video, they need to get a lot bigger.

I went to visit them today after work, they definitely sound papery when rolled between fingers, not so much aroma though other than a grassy smell. Not so much noticeable lupulin either.
Either way it was peshing down with rain so figured I would leave them till Friday when it’s meant to be dry.
