You’ve all inspired me to order some rhizomes.&nbsp; I ordered 4 Centennial, 4 Fuggle and 4 Magnum from Left Fields Hop Farms out in BC.&nbsp; We shall have to see how things go but after reading Denny’s comment about 1 plant, I’m thinking perhaps I was a bit ambitious.

Can’t wait to start harvesting my non-dry, non-stale hop cones ('cause I don’t want to get caught up in the wet/fresh debate).

They’re actually pretty easy to contain as long as you pay attention.&nbsp; You can give them 2-3 years in the ground and then just dig the whole crown up, prune and plunk it back.&nbsp; If you let them go any more than about 3 years you’ll probably need like a 12 pack for the whole job.&nbsp; It’s all about being outside and homegrown, nothing like it!&nbsp; Hop On!

Growing them is the easy part.&nbsp; Processing and packaging is when the work starts.
