Hop Plant?

[delzep]

whatcha got John?

[johnrm]

They're either Cascade or Fuggles.

Cascade would be great if its not too much trouble (if its hassle posting, then don't worry about it )

I got my 2 rhizomes (challenger and goldings) from homebrewguru a couple of weeks ago.
Have them potted up in the greenhouse, their little shoots just sticking up out of the soil.
I presume once the weather gets warmer they will really shoot up.

if its anything like last summer, you can nearly watch them grow by the minute

john do you have any left?

[johnrm]

I will need to check.
I have a bunch of root cuttings that in potting compost which MIGHT be viable.

@Danny, I've not heard back from my Midleton-Clonmel transporter yet. I must chase him.

no worries John - i can sort out postage if we want to go down that root? (see what i did there?  )

[johnrm]

Never sent text, oops.

[fishjam45 (Colin)]

the bit of sun over the last week (on and off) has started my rhizomes, they've popped their buds up through the soil

i have seen some folks coating Rhizomes in hormone powder prior to planting - available in Aldi yesterday for 3.99

"Use pesticides carefully/Read the label"

Surely as homebrewers most of us are trying to get away from dodgy chemicals in beer/wine/cider etc! Think miller use some sort of modified hop extract that is unaffected by light iirc
