    OK Hops

    The only PITA is keeping up with the weeds around here on that plot. Johnson grass grows like a motha! Hopefully after weeding out about a thousand of them they will not be as thick next year LOL!

    OK Hops

    All of these are first year. I already cannot wait until next year to see how each strain takes off. It will be a much better tell on which kinds will do well in my area...

    OK Hops

    Awesome, thank you! Ya, it was strange about those, all three just failed. Maybe they do not like the soil here. That is Cascade in the picture and they are leading the race by far but everything is on the line now and growing. I am going to have to make another path for the Cascade at...

    OK Hops

    Alrighty, So the hops are growing well now except for the Chinook, they did not grow for some reason. All of the rhizomes rotted. But the question now is what do I do with the offshoots of the plants that are taking off? I put three shoots on each string but they are starting to throw...

    OK Hops

    I think I have the field setup for now. I am using a Single-pole trellis design. I might add another modern trellis setup in the center if I get my hands on some more rhizomes. But for now this will be fine for the four varieties I am growing. And it will allow me to plant some stuff in the...

    I ordered rhizomes...

    Cool! Sounds like I chose the right place to order from. Looks I will be able to at least 24 plants. Any input on the other four? Someone said Falcon would be good...

    I ordered rhizomes...

    ... from freshops.com. Does anyone have any experience with them? They seemed like they sell a quality product. I ordered 3 of each of these: Chinook, Cascade, Nugget, and Willamette. These are the ones I hope will grow well here in NE OK. Main reason being they are said to be downy...

    Hello from OK

    Found this place while researching growing hops. I recently moved to the NE corner of OK from NM and now have lots of water and land to try and start growing hops. I am still doing the research and I plan on growing around 12 plants this year to see what will really grow well. From the tiny...

    Hops in the Deep South?

    I am trying to grow hops for the first time this year in Oklahoma. I have done only a few days of research but from what I have found these seem to be the best varieties to grow in hot and humid regions: Cascade, Nugget, Williamette, Mt. Hood, and Chinook. The reason being is that they are...
