About 15 years ago I got a few of my favorite varieties. Built a pretty nice structure, planted them carefully and was super pumped to elevate the "homebrewing" aspect of the hobby. However.... they all died. I had no idea at the time that the climate in my state isn't ideal and can actually make it fairly difficult to consistently grow them. Not to mention from some light reading I did, not all varieties even stand much chance here.
Fast forward to today and I have gotten fairly adept at gardening, and take really good care of my plants (peppers in particular). I feel more capable of taking on the challenge than I did years ago. So that got me thinking once again about hops, and figured someone in the forum has to be not only from Missouri, but have also attempted to grow them.
With that being said, has anyone actually had success here? If so are there certain varieties that you found are best?
