Are these hops?

[dierythmus]

My friend gave me some rhizomes a while ago. I planted them a few weeks ago and have been watering. I haven't mowed in that section of the backyard and it's starting to get overgrown. My thumb isn't green at all, and it's hard for me to tell what makes overgrown grass, weeds, etc. Are these pics below hops sans cones? I have a plan to train them, etc.

I think that's Virginia creeper.

Does it have thorns? Looks like blackberry to me. Don't think it's Virginia creeper.

Also could I get a clear close up on the leaves? If those are lobes and there aren't any thorns developing on the stems it would look like hops to me. If they are leaflets them I think it's blackberry.

Edit: On second look, it's almost definitely blackberry.

Looking at the nodes and what appear to be runners, I'm voting for wild strawberry.

I think they are.
Good are relatives of cannabis and those leaves look like so...
Don't know what I'm thinking...

They look like Virginia Creeper.

Blackberry has a different saw-tooth leaf shape.

Hops look like this:

Not sure what it is, but I'm going to cast my vote for 'not hops'.

Wild strawberry is what I thought as well. Looks a lot like creeper but much too small since the leaves are about the size of the guy's thumb.

Not hops.

Let it grow and let us know later...
If it is not a hop plant... too bad...
But if it is... ?

yep, appears to be Virginia Creeper to me too. No harm in letting it grow, good native plant which will have berries for wildlife by Fall.
