Hi folks,
This year was the first year I planted hops. I planted two rhizomes one in the ground and another in a big plastic planter (about the size of a 5 gallon bucket.
The one in the ground looks to be doing well and healthy. Only a few cones this year but I know the focus is on the root system for years to come.
The second plant in the bucket didn't fare so well. Though it sprouted and grew about 8 feet it was yellowish and didn't produce any cones. I also know that it wasn't in a very sunny spot. So I'm sure the combination of being in a bucket plus not enough sun stunted it's growth.
I'd like to replant this one in the ground in a sunnier position. My question is, can I do this now in the fall or should I wait till the Spring? If I wait till Spring what should I do with the plant through the winter? (I'm located in the Czech Republic and winters can get cold)
Thanks!
