Ok, I will go through the 23 pages of reading material. I'll post back with future questions. Thanks

Ok read through the pages, and still really didn't see anyone with pictures of a successful sub fence height setup. I might do some googling. I am looking for horizontal growing.

We made a fence comprised of three 4x4 posts 10 feet ling, with 2 feet concreted into the ground. Then we took latticing and screwed it to the posts. Then we took cabinet knobs and made guide lines from the ground to the top of the latticing so it formed a zig zag design when the hops grow horizontally. Each zag is about 2 feet wide so over all we have about 14 feet of zig zag horizontal growing room before the hops reach the top of the structure. Hope this helps. If you look at what threads I've posted, you will find pictures, its took dark to take any now. Good luck!

There is a good deal of information here guys!

I'm in Cypress as well and looking to get some hops in the ground this spring. Freshops doesn't have any until mid-March but Thyme Garden is taking pre-orders for this year.

From the sounds of it Cascade is a decent bet and placing it where it is hidden from the hot afternoon sun is the way to go.

BARBQ & jvcjbl...we definitely need to get a local Cypress homebrew club going!

I moved mine to a pot so I can move it around. I saw one peaking out of the top of the dirt.

+1 on the club too. Im to lazy to drive to the other ones.

of the 6 i had last year, 2 survived the drought. (Fuggle and Chinook) moved them from the containers this week, and may buy 2 cascade rhizomes as well to give those guys another try. I think there will be goods and bads about moving these out of the containers and into the garden. I'll pretty things up and get a few pics up. The Fuggle already has shoots so i figured it was time to put em in the ground.

RE: Cypress area brewing group - lets have a quick get together at Backyard Grill in the next week. I know Mark at BYG and he's getting into the brewing thing - He would love to be a part of that and it might be a good relationship to bring into the group. how about thursday the 1st @ 6:30?

Sounds good, I will try my best to make it. Should somebody post an individual thread about a Cypress Homebrew Club meeting in the gathering section?

BBQ - sounds good about the post in the gathering section. If you put one there will you throw a link to it on this as well so guys can find it?

I'll talk to mark this week and get a table set aside by the bar and let y'all know where we'll be at.
