2 years running has been April 26 for me. Earlier would be even better
Guess we will see im excited this will be my 2nd year of growing
I plant my hops in half wine barrels and have coir yarn stretching to the top eves of our brewery/man cave. The little purple sprouts have already started. But yesterday, the wife and dumped them all out, trimmed the crowns, put them back in some good new (conditioned) soil.
If anyone is in the Port Angeles Wa area, I’ve got Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Fuggle rhizomes free for the taking…
would you be interested in shipping 2-4 Fuggles to Wisconsin? I’ll pick up shipping of course
You bet, just PM me. But please give me instruction on how to pack. I figure some wet newspaper, and an unsealed gallon ziplock.
And of course I make no warranty as to viability.

Neighbors probably think I’m insane ::) Just finished snowblowing around my hop trellis. I don’t want them sprouting too early.
About 7 weeks left to go…
Our very unusual late winter snow knocked out a few shoots on some of my plants but half are already growing voraciously with several shoots inches out of the ground.
Waiting on my starts as spring erupts around me…patience is not my best suit. 
Looks like the thaw has mine starting to come alive I buried them with alittle more of a layer to protect them from the cold night but all look healthy have a feeling my cent is going to go ape crazy this year
well so much for the snow covered idea… gone in 2 days. Just might be early this season
I’ve got some Cascades that are about a foot tall, some just coming out, some still dormant, and both Centennials poked their little sprouts out since the weekend.
My California Cluster hit the ground running in February. They’re now 4 feet and growing about 6"/day.
Cascade about two foot, Willamette and Centennial are about a foot. Giving them a few more days then hacking them down. I don’t trust that spring is here just yet.
Cascade and Mt. Hood are 1-3 feet tall already while the Nugget and Sterling are just inches out of the ground.
I unburied a monster of roots on my centennial plant only one tht is tht big I have a feeling that one is going to be a handful this year and I can’t wait
3 of my 4 potted rhizomes have sprouted. The one that hasn’t sprouted did really poorly last year, wouldn’t be surprised if the tough winter killed it off.
Well, over here on the wet (I mean west) side of the cascades, mine have been sprouted, but only a few now have leaves. But let me ask, I’ve always cut the first growth much smaller than 2 feet. Why wait so long? I’ve read somewhere, that once they have two set of leaves, it’s time. But you’re much closer to Yakima, than I.
Don’t give up hope. Just because it didn’t grow much above ground doesn’t mean it wasn’t growing underground last year.
