My Hop Garden..

By the looks of it you have a greenhouse and probably know this, But if it was me.   I would plant out in a south facing sheltered plot.

Transferring the the root gently into a hole with blood and bone meal at the bottom and surround with a nice fertile mix of top soil with old manure mixed in.   

I would add some type of mild nitrogen slow release pellet to promote green vegetative growth and when cone time arrives,  a quality all in one flower mix with neutral NPK .   

I would also stake it in its plot now as not to damage the root later. 

And cross my fingers.

Sound, thanks, the greenhouse is my brother's, looking to move it to mine.

All 3 of my plants are effected by powdery mildue this year due to this weather.   I would urge any growers to keep a good check on their plants as it can spread on to hop cones later if left untreated.

Any sign of aphids yet? I have them al over the leaves on one of mine.

The plants seem sensitive to pyrethrins so I'll be trying soapy water - is supposed to work well.
