Can anyone recommend any plants, flowers or veggies, that will grow well between hops? I'd love to somehow utilize the spare space...
Thanks

I had good success with Corn rows around my hops last year. I am planning the same this year.
Although there is only the central bine above ground, the secondary root system of a hop plant is huge and close to the surface.
What about some beans for their nitrogen fixing capabilities?
This is why I have considered asparagus, you plant it really deep, and it stays in the row where you plant it. Also, after early summer, you let it go and it sorta fills in visually all that space under the trellis.

Ah but you can't eat clover, er well, you'd rather eat beans. I like the idea of a dual purpose crop that can be harvested as well.
Garlic is said to have some aphid control properties due to off gassing.
do a little research before you plant garlic next to your hops. this doesnt seem like a good idea to me
I do yellow sqash,zucchini,lettuce under my horizontal lines. and one of my hops is growing in my tomato row.
its all good if you compost as much as I do. plenty of food for them all.
Reeeeally? I just happen to have some garlic I was going to plant in the next few days!
