Chris, You can plant them as close as 24 inch rows, however that would be to close because you would not be able to get between them after they get over waist high. I'd keep them in 36 inch rows minimum. you can let the different varieties grow next to each other, but you would have to top the...

Rod, Thanks for the vote of confidence. Bill, That corn crib will make an excellent curing barn. Chris, I plant mine in rows 40 inches apart ( I use a tractor and cultivator to control weeds), and 24 inches between plants in the row.

I use cigar tobacco varieties. I believe that the tree tobacco is unsmokable. Not really sure about the sacred tobacco. I've raised burley (cigarette) tobacco since I was a little boy. This will be my third year to raise cigar tobacco for personal use.

Thanks for the compliments friends! If anyone else wants to try this I've still got seeds available. Just shoot me a pm.

Throwing down a little mass destruction, Lookin' good!!!

What a LOSER!!!!

Lookin' good!!! I'd say you better keep her!

Chris, The aphids themselves don't do much damage, However there are several other leaf eaters that will eat holes in your prized crop that you worked so hard to raise. I'll have some tobacco powder later for anyone who wants some. Oh yea I almost forgot for all you bass fishermen there are...

Greg, Actually Sevin dust would be the only commercially produced pesticide that would be acceptable. It cannot be any type of systemic pesticide, these would be absorbed into the leaves. Later on I'll have some of the tobacco dust available, for anyone that needs some.

Chris, Since you don't have frost I guess your running behind.LOL!!! Get a seed starter tray, these are available at most home and garden centers. If you get the ones with individual compartments try to put only 2-4 seeds in each compartment, this will save you some time in the future. As you...

Ok Everybody, after many delays your seeds are in the mail. I took them to the post office this morning. I should've took a pic, there were 97 in this mailing. I've sent seeds to over 150 Brothers and Sisters. :sign: I sent out seeds on this forum, 1 other forum, friends from our local herf...
