Last year I was given a couple of rhizomes from a Willamette crown (from what I was told, it was a 150 year old crown from a hop farm in OR...brought to WA about a generation ago) and they did extremely well. I wanted to expand my library of hop variety so I recently ordered a Cascade, Mt. Hood, Nugget, and Northern Brew. They showed up today and I received two rhizomes per bag (8 total rhizomes).
My Willamette's grew just fine on their own (planted each piece separately), is the intent to plant both pieces together? Did I get a double order on accident?
I have no idea where i'm going to put all of these plants. I had already decided to buy some barrel planters to plant my new ones in, because sunny garden space is at a minimum (my Willamette's have about all the space there is in the back). Any ideas on how I can get these all planted without spending hundreds on large planter boxes? I might be able to put some on the side of the house, but do deer eat hop?
Sorry for the mostly unorganized post, it's been quite the day.
