Re: Companion Plants For Hops Aureus

Me, too, Wanda. 

Ok, I'll bite: What lab is selling the plugs? How much are they? I've heard
of tissue propagation, but haven't actually seen it done except in a
propagation class about 15 years ago. How much trouble is this? Have you
done it, Marilyn? Is Kent Bell only happy in Britain/Pacific Northwest? I
have great luck with C. persicifolia, but my sole chimney bellflower gave up
the ghost after only 1 blooming season. Fill us in, please.
