Growing my hops in Austin, TX

[BlondeBrewChick]

I rigged these pots myself with garden twine and a cedar stake (14 ft')

The Centennial hops are doing the best and have started to climb. The Kent Golding and Cascade are not looking great.

I'm using a 20" inch pot I think its 5 gallon. Sorry not such a technical answer lol - The pots are plastic, and $15 each.

Good luck! There are lots of great TX grows on this board - just be sure to have a plan to beat the heat! Even in MA, my hops have struggled through some 95 degree days.

I got pretty lucky! This week its thunderstorming so its hot but the sun is hiding. I have them on the edge of my patio so they get direct sun part of the day and then in the shade.
