Any Ontario people had any luck growing hops? I live in a small townhouse with a 20x30 backyard. I do a bit of gardening (herbs, tomatoes, hot peppers) and was thinking of planting some hop vines along the back of my fence. My wife likes vines, and I like beer, so it's a win/win :D

What strains have Ontarians had luck with? Also, when should I plant?

I'm using my current home as a learning experiment, since I'll be selling the house in late 2013 or early 2014, and getting a single home with more land/garage/brew-space.

I was thinking of trying my hand at Fuggles, Cascade and maybe Centennial (since they seem a bit more resistant)
