Mark Lee asked, "Has anyone else ever experimented with 
hops...............................?"


   I have only ever saw one Hops Vine and it was growing in the wild here 
in zone 3.  Last year, another showed up in my garden.  I plan to keep it 
and nurture it.  If you tell me how to collect seed from it, I could send 
you some.  Then you'd have a vine that requires a shorter growing season 
compared to your growing season in Seattle.
