    I'm going to attempt it. I got the rhizomes from a hops farm in Colorado.

    Hops is one of the most expensive ingredients, especially when i do an IPA. The first year I am anticipating a very small harvest of hops while the plants get established, but I have a really sunny side of my house that I think they will like. I was able to get 11 and a half feet of hops twine from the ground to the eave of my house. Hopefully I don't have any neighbors that turn me into the HoA.. HA!

    I wanted to try growing hops this year but opted not to. Keep us posted on how it's going.

    Anyone have insight on growing peppers? I'm going to try a salsa garden this summer.
    There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
