So I bought three rhizomes from LHBS, planted them, and had them already coming up. Discovered later that one, Northern Brewer, might not like really sunny and hot weather. Since that's how summer is in Stockton, CA, I decided to get another type just in case this one couldn't handle the weather. I also wanted a plant instead of a rhizome since I wanted to actually have a usable harvest this year. I decided Great Lakes Hops was the best choice, so I ordered a Columbus hop plant.
It arrived in less than a week and the plant looked great. But wait a sec... what's this in the box? Another plant? Lucky Dog? Yep, I got two for the price of one. Package with the plant was a Chinook starter. I now have all 4C's of the hop world growing in my back yard and I couldn't be happier.
These guys are great and I'd recommend them to anyone. Yeah, the plants cost a bit more than rhizomes, but if you got the money it's well worth it. And you can like them on Facebook too. They keep you up to date on what they have and also tips on growing hops.
