I’m in Western Colorado, about 30 miles from the Utah border in the high desert at the foot of the rockies. There is currently a “hops rush” going on over here. Apparently the do quite well. I had been trying to get hold of cuttings, but could only find seed, and everything I read said starting hops from seed was pretty difficult. I’ll get some pics up by the next garden thread.

Back in the 70’s, before all the development along the river here, hops, and little wild strawberries grew there. We’d see them when we’d ride horses. I always wondered if they originated with the shingle camps, which were the first settlements here.
