They're growing differently,
One of the Perle is growing very fast and is about 140 cm, the other Perle is nearly dead :( the slugs have eaten it :angry:
One Columbus is well and 35 cm high, the 2 others wasn't so good at the beginning but there're growing well now :P
Saaz and the Halertau are well but only 25 cm high, I think there're late varieties <_<
I look after them very well, pictures as soon as I'll buy my new camera (remember I lost the other one :( ))

Excellent. I've just discovered I have wild hops growing in my garden. I didn't know what they were and have been trying to kill them with weedkiller for the last three weeks... :huh:

If you don't know the variety of your hop, it doesn't matter if you've kill them :D

Agreed. Basically, they're just a weed, but they grow like the Trojans pick fights with the Romans which suggests I could grow known varieties in my soil!!! :D :D :D

The hops are dead and replaced with 5 different varieties of Clematis to please the missus. Damn! Can't use those in beer!!! :(

Probably the simplest way is to use the IMG button at the top of the posting screen, then the URL of where the picture is and then click the IMG button again.

If you don't have any webspace where you can host them yourself, then I'm sure Jim or I could do it for you.

Like this:-

Alternatively you could use HTML code like this:-

CODE <img src="http://www.whereyourpictureis.com/picturename.jpg">
