Growing hops at home

Hi all,

I know many people here are currently growing hops at home or are thinking about it. I've put together some links on all the things I have learned about it. I hope it helps.

ditto! i got some rhizomes in the 'crisper' drawer of my fridge that im gonna plant in the next few weeks (since the weather in san diego is fair enough to handle it)...
definitely need to do some research about the whole trellis/trimming aspect..but ive got a nice place on the side of the house that gets plenty of sun and im thinkin i may gonna run some cables up to an eye-bolt on the eves 16'... or may decide to just do horizontal cables and stake posts at the end kf the row..we shall see..

Good luck. Hops really benefit from a nice cold winter (I think they need a freeze or two) which is one of the reasons that they grow so well up here in the PNW and why New York used to be a major hop growing region before hop disease caused havoc.

I'm wanting to get started this spring on growing hops. I'm east of Dallas and starting to do research into it. Thanks for posting this. 🍻
