Having just gotten into the home brew sceen I am thinking about growing my own hops starting next spring. The trouble is I cant find any info on how they will do in the area I live. Here in central NM its hot, dry and windy in the summer. Soil has a lot of clay and is fairly alkaline, so I know that I will have to do some work there before planting but im used to that. Any ideas what types may grow here, or is it just a fustration waiting to happen?
