Anyone doing this here? I wonder how long I need and if I plant soon, like June 25th if I will have enough time to get a full season...
you *could* plant them this year and not do them any harm, but I doubt you would see any cones from starting this late. It would give you a head start for next year though.
From my limited experience with growing them it seems that year 1 growth is limited and not too exciting, but subsequent years they start to explode all over the place if you don't keep them under control.
Original question-- If you were to get some rhizomes and plant them you would get some tiny bines probably no cones before frost in CO. But next year with good care you could get some cones!
San Juan Hops Farm (www.sanjuanhopfarms.com) does not sell rhizomes-- our nursery stock goes right back into our acres. We will be selling some hops soon though. September? depending on the sun, the rain, and the winds
Come Spring I could get you some of testing garden hops.

Until then, if you're in need of some flavor/aroma hops, they're growing wild up and down Cherry Creek and there was a bunch next to the Bull & Bush Boil House.
