So i was a little late in the game in finding out how to plant and grow hops. However i was able to go to a local nursery and they had "starts" there i was able to get a Mt. Hood and Nugget. As you can see i am growing in a raised planter for now until i can dig out a garden. Im still trying to figure out the best way to make a temporary trellis for this setup any ideas?

Also since im assuming this is a first year growth for these plants how should i go about with pruning or what to expect from them. And if you see anything that im either doing wrong or could tweak for setup please feel free to say so,

i want to build a trellis for them using twine. Those just had to be in there as i just planted them yesterday, when i got them home the little bamboo stick the nursery used wasnt working so they just folded the plant over i guess to give it a uniform height. Once i got them all untangled and acutally to their proper height they had grown to i needed a bigger stick.
