Willingham Nurseries (UK) and  Eickelmann (Germany) are great also.

Ask nicely and you might get something from the forum. But not for another couple of months, I'd say.

in short words - yes.
Man can never have too many hop plants. With two I'm going to pick up from hbg tomorrow itll be five. Shell go mad. Btw ivy is in the way but thankfully its three year old plant so it has to go.

If you're near the sea and unlikely to get a frost, outside is fine. Otherwise pot up and keep wrapped up in something like newspaper, or in a shed or something. No need for the windowsill though.

They work ok in pots long term, but if you can get it in the ground...

I've got about 40 hop plants.  :-[

Got a bit hop-happy.

cheers - i left it too late last year to get anything going so keen to get something planted this year. Im not near the coast so will put them in at night till the risk has passed - the garden is decent sized with plenty of light and the soil is good - i grow veg pretty successfully every year so i would hope for a few cones from these.

cool if anyone has them spare i will give them a good home ;-)
