Well, I live here in the Dallas area and I've got 3 Chinook vines coming through now, along with 2 Cascade and 2 Willamette. Never grown hops so this should be interesting. BTW, is it vines or bines?
Radtek, I'm wondering if you're still thinking of growing this season. I'm just outside of 410 on the northwest side and debating whether to construct something with full southern exposure in the backyard or doing a trellis up the east north east side of the house. With this past summer's heat the locals should have a good idea whether hops are San Antonio realistic or not.

i am in houston and grew cascade last year. 100F+ an no rain for almost 2 months. I watered a little in the morning (6am) and a little more at 5pm. they were in direct sunlight most of the day with some shade. i had zero wilting and first year plant produced 1/2oz dried.
I wouldnt worry to much about the mulch. I mulched the top of mine and it comes through easy. See pic of some cascades I planted the other day. I just used some potting soil and then put mulch on top.
any east Texas Hops growers up in here?
I am moving to Tyler this Thursday and was wondering if anyone over that way has tried or is growing hops.

Jason, I live in Forney and have chinook, cascade, and willamette. I planted everything last year. I dug out 3 holes that are around 2x2x2 ft. I then filled the holes with a mix of aged manure, top soil, and compost all obtained from lowes. So far this year, my chinook is about 3 ft, my cascade is around 7ft, and the willamette is a few inches tall. I'll post pics tonight.
