Planting the hops

I mentioned it briefly in a previous post, we FINALLY planted the hops out in the potager. The poor things have been sitting in pots since they arrived a few months ago while we decided where they were going to go and how we were going to support them as they grew. We have four varieties: cascade, challenger, east kent goldings and fuggles. We built two 'W' shaped supports up the banks either side of the potager. The top and bottom are posts and there is string forming the 'W' shape between them. The hops are planted by the two bottom posts. Hopefully they will have survived the abuse and flourish.
