I'd be there in a heartbeat if I want working that night. Let me know how it goes and I'll try to get to the next meetup.
I'm looking to plant this year but I'm worried about this summer. Is it possible to pot it the first year and transplant it next spring and get a full crop?
I have several Earthtainers that were designed for tomatoes -- think they would work?
I'm waiting on my rhizomes to come in from Austin Homebrew. I got two Cascade rhizomes as I heard they are the easiest to grow in Texas. I am hoping for a mild summer. I rent so we are going to plant them in a jack daniels whiskey barrel cut in half, they sell them at home depot. Do you think this will be big enough to put both in one or will they each need their own container?
that would be a good place to put them. I have a smaller pot and probably have more than two. The hardest part it making something vertical for them to climb on.
Shoul be fine. Check the soil PH!!!!!!

This guy seems to be doing about an inch a day now, so he's picking it up. About time to train him I think.
Our willamette is still struggling. But our chinook is doing well. Ive been manicuring the chinook but im stumped. Do i want only 3-5 bines only out of the ground? Or do i only want 4-5 bines altogether (my bines have been off shooting bines all over the place)? Also, i have read that i should remove the bottom leaves surrounding the mound on the bines. Should i do this? In the pics below, you can sww the zig zag of the chinook accompanied by strawberry and tomato. In the other pic you can see just the start of the willamette. Thanks!

The willamette is west facing. Planted the exactly the same time as the chinook. I transplanted them last august. The willamette took off at first. But as spring came and went...well you see the difference. They get exactly the same nutrients, water, sun. They are maybe 5-6 feet away from another. I stay on top of weeds. Im just hoping they ate late starters because of this being their first year. Thanks for help.
Will hops grow along a chain linked fence?
I don't get the training thing.....make sure you train them to go counterclock not counterclock? Really?
Northern Hemisphere... Vine Growth Follows The Sun, from east to south to west and back again. Clockwise. SCIENCE!!
