Best of luck to you, and just note that the general consensus is that you won't really get a harvest in the first year, so you're probably looking at fall of 2011 for your first home-hopped brew. But, being a homebrewer, I'll assume you are the patient type. 
I tried growing hops myself once. I bought 2 rhizomes from the LHBS a few years ago, and my buddy cut a HUGE one off some well established nugget vines he has had planted for a number of years.
The nugget grew to a miserable 3 feet in length with hardly any leaves on it and certainly no cones.
Sadly, that was the end of my success. The two I bought from the LHBS never even sprouted.
