April is just crazy in Connecticut. We had a week of 80 degree weather last week. Then what happens? A cold spell of course! We had near freezing temperatures last night and are on a frost warning tonight...This is why I generally hold off planting until May.
Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed ideas and advice. I have heard from a couple of people that if I don't plant soon, I may not get a crop the first year. For that reason, the rhizomes will be in my garden bed this week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Check back for pictures!
Hopefully everyone listened to the Home Brewing Perspectives Podcast. If you haven't, I think it is definitely worth a listen...check it out! Irrigation info soon to follow!

You have a really neat blog about hop growing -- much like a diary -- and I like it. If you need some good advice about any aspect of your hops, I think you can get help from our group of over 2,000 hop-growers, so I invite you to join 'Grow-Hops'; my 'Grow-Hops' portal -- http://home.alltel.net/billvelek/growhops.html -- explains the different features in our 'Yahoo' and '.com' groups.
Cheers, and good luck.
