I got my hop rhizomes in the mail yesterday. (2) Willamette and (2) Glaciers. Here's a picture with one of each.
The only problem is that I live in SF. And while we have a small 'yard', it's on the North side of the house so no sunshine. Therefore, I'm sending the Willamette hops to Corning with Elisa. That's right, this ho-bunk-hill-billy-country town that is close to Chico (where Sierra Nevada grows their hops). Elisa's grandma has a green thumb, so I'm bribing her with some of my beer to take care of these bines. I will take the Glacier hops to my family's place in San Jose. I'll have my sister take care of them there.
They say not to expect much harvest out of your first year, but I'm looking to milking out anything I get.Some reference links if you're interested:
