Hops

A while ago we bought some hop rhizomes (bits of root that new plants will grow from), we planted them in pots because we couldn't decide where to put them (and we were a bit worried about frost when they are so small). They have decided it is spring and started growing. We better decide where they are going and provide them with something to grow up pdq. We have a wee while before they outgrow the pots I guess.
We have Cascade, Fuggles, Challenger and East Kent Goldings. Obviously we plan on using them in our beer. It could be next year until we get a harvest I think.
