Update for 2011

For those who are wondering, I did not grow any hops in pots this year. I basically didn't do anything to encourage the plants to sprout this spring and they didn't. This would have been the third growing season for them, but the results last year were disappointing to say the least. I'm not necessarily giving up on them, just taking a year off to review what I've learned and see what needs to be improved on. I already have quite a few ideas, so I'll probably give it another shot in the spring of 2012.  I know other people have had success with growing hops this far south and with growing them in pots, so I'm definitely still interested in trying.
