My Mt Hood is 7 ft tall now, southern exposure. Others average around 3ft. Located in cold Montana but doing great, vines have survived 25 degrees. Second year growth for me.

I stayed with my daughter and husband and my 2 grandkids in Mesa (small world huh?). Beautiful this time of year there. I am interested how your hops do in AZ. Keeping the containers out of the sun and surface mulched should protect the roots from baking and drying out. Keep us posted. Best of luck. Moose,

Anyway, I have been asked a lot where to buy hop rhizomes so I am compiling a list. This is late in the season so get them fast. About half of the hop rhizome sources are done for 2009 already. You want them in the ground soon - worst case if they all sell out, find a local hop grower (homebrew hop growing enthusiast and talk them into digging up a couple rhizomes for you). I will have a new post today with a list of where to buy hop rhizomes. Hey Chad,

Got my Willamette and Chinook in the pot (HUGE Pots)in early april. They're 12" and trained to the vine already. I did a sun survey of my yard and found a great place to put'em where the pot doesn't get too much sun and cook the roots, but enough long sun for the bines to grow. They have already had a few days near 100 and did very well. Another first year grower, but I’m in Mesa, Arizona. Got my Willamette and Chinook in the pot (HUGE Pots)in early april.

Glad you found a peated barley that hits the mark. Now you have to source it (maybe the brewery would sell you some or provide their source?). Sounds tasty! Just checked and my Magnum has a single 2 inch shoot so far. The Nugget has 2 shoots just breaking ground. I cleared away the leaf mulch as tomorrow it is supposed to hit 80 degrees here! Then back to the 50's :( I'll post pictures and a few words tomorrow - hopefully the exposed dirt and sunshine will get all 3 hop rhizomes sprouting - Nugget, Magnum and Cascade. Jay,

Now that's what I need!!! My Jumbo Fuggles Rhizome is putting up a bunch of shoots IN THE PLASTIC BAG in my cellar...Gotta get these babies in the ground! Any shoots yet on yours? I send some pics when I get them planted. cheers cool. I visited this brewery east of here in an old church

I'll ask around about a strong peat smoked barley. Dogfish Head is good! I don't have a mechanism to post pictures from outside of the admin functions on the blog. If you have pics and/or a story, Just send it to tony@growinghopsyourself.com and I can post it if it fits the growing hops / homebrew theme.
