Hey guys, this is a fantastic resource! I have been directed here in search of hop rhizomes and understand MOB may be able to help. I am Toronto based and previous local supplies seem to have dried up. Now that I want to plant my own hops I am having trouble finding any in Canada. I am planning on buying from freshops.com but if there is anything local it would be preferable. Can you guys make any recommendations as to what grows well in these parts? I wanted to plant Willamette (as a fuggles substitute) Goldings, Cascade possible and Chinook for bittering. Actually does anyone have a line on Challenger hops?
One last question....When the vines reach 20 feet what is the best strategy to tell your wife "but honey, I really did'nt know they would get so big!"
Cheers and thanks.

We have also grown almost all varieties of hops, and the only one I have had problems with so far is EKG.
