Anyone growing hops? My first year trying, wouldn’t mind some pointers.

I hope some one can give you some tips. I myself have never grown them. Have you done a search to see what the University Extension Service has on line for your state?

A bud grew hops one year. It really does want cooler weather, so Texas is probably a bad place to grow it.

He treated it like asparagus, and it did well enough... until the hot temps hit, then, forget it.

It does want cooler temps. Especially at night.

I wish I were growing them this year.

But now that it's not raining, I gotta go check the asparagus.
