Vines and Climbers: Hops vine - male or female?, 1 by art_n_garden

Mine is so very vigorous, second only to my silverlace vine, only it's much better looking and better behaved. I use mine as a chain link fence cover. This is its second year in the ground and I am hoping that it will fill in lower next year - as you can see it's kind of top heavy and sparse down below. How easy were they to start from seed and how many did you start? I wonder what the ratio of male to female will be for you.
