Hello,
I live in central/lower Michigan I've never grown hops but I really wanted to try it out this year. However, time got away from me and I never got around to getting anything set up to grow some. I've since decided that next year is my year to grow hops, but I was just curious about the ideal time frame to get the rhizomes in the ground. Am I entirely too late this year to get a few vines growing?
My plan for next year was to wait for the first day where the temperatures reached above 60F (should be sometime in April or May) and dig my post hole (ideally however many feet are below the frost line). Then I can get a few rhizomes in the ground and let them grow!
