I ordered some rhizomes from freshops, and 3 weeks ago managed to finally get them under some dirt.

Cascades, growing in the backyard:

Since I only had room for one variety in the ground, I have the following growing in pots that are way too small:

From left to right: Centennial, Sterling, Mt Hood, Tettnanger

I think at this rate, I might get some hops out of the Mt hood, but I need to find a place to get these into the ground!

(and the brownish areas in the soil are used coffee grounds I'm using as fertilizer. I guess it works.)
 
Those look great. I am also in Houston and ordered from Freshops. I stuck 2 Perle, 2 Centenial, 2 Nugget and 4 Crystal in the ground about 2 weeks ago.
 
My tettnanger which were lagging behind seemed to grow about 30% overnight. Looks good so far.
