growing hops in New England?

Rindge, NH

Any one have any luck growing hops in New England...I have started 5 vines (had 6 but one didnt make it) 1 Nugget, 2 Magnums and 2 Centennials...

on another note...I am a transplant from the Gulf Coast (absolutely voluntary) and love this country you call New England. I have been here since 2003. I live in Rock Hampshire.. I am adapting. I had a plant nursery biz from 1994-1998...did okay...did heaps of growing...but that was on the Gulf Coast...now all that I learned is out the window...I had a garden in pots and a patch in the backyard last year...all did really well...my big prob is the lack of morning sun but I am looking to take out many pines that are too close to the house anyway...

Welcome kiwi. I'm in NY but I grew golden hops as an ornamental - Humulus 'Aurea', and had to get rid of it. It just took over. Incredibly vigorous. The root mass I dig up was the size of a automobile tire and I did not get it all.
