colmc Offline Posts: 180	I'll be planting mine this weekend. My understanding is that in our climate you can plant anytime during the winter. The impression I got from essentially hops is that they should be planted asap after delivery. If it is planted 6 inches underground with some manure on top, it is unlikely to be affected by frost I would have thought.

That's just to stop them drying out. You can put them in pots and leave them in the shed (where mine are), or you could plant them. No difference really... Altho if the weather gets as cold as it did last year and the year before I would cover the ground they're buried in just to be on the safe side, if you do plant them.
