Just planted my hops a week ago...nothing to show so far. doing them in pots but panning on using some public space in the future to grow some sneaky hops once the root systems get big enough for trimming <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: -->
That's a deadly idea! You could even pretend it's some kind of ideologically motivated thing! Green guerillas ninjaing around the city planting stuff (stuff that happens to be good for brewing).

I found lots of wild hops around these parts last year. Am tempted to go harvesting this year, just to see. Planting them in public spaces might be easy, but I wonder what people would think of the harvesting <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Can't wait to see how you guys get on. As soon as we have our own place with a decent garden there's hops going in!
I had a beer in Vienna that was made with some funky wild hops 1516[/url:13rsp51y] found growing in someone's dad's back yard. It was nice but certainly took a bit of getting used to.
