Brown Thumbs First Week Harvesting

[Brown Thumb]

4800 leaves so far. About half way done, I do not know what is more enjoyable. Harvesting tobacco or cutting & splitting Firewood.
Hanging is Va 309, Havana Gold species unknown, and Va Gold.
The Va509 I will stalk cure, that is the stuff my kid is standing next to. He is 5 ft. tall.
I have free leaf for anyone Local that wants to come & pick it. I grew waaay too much.

Thanks, I live near Bangor, But my shop is on 512 above Bath in Moorestown.
There are probably 10 planes up there. I used to fly alot but my eyesight and coordination is shot for the fast funstuff anymore, But I have teaching my kid to fly electric.

Yeah, me too. Right now it's Telemaster's or nothing. Tobacco is a lot slower and easier to bring in.

I can not agree with that bringing in tobacco part at the moment. I have a really bad back, lots of bulging discs.
I really fired one up moving snowmobiles around to hang the tobacco I can barley walk.
I got my kid a Hobby Zone Cub. It Crashes really well. I had to cut down a big old dogwood tree to retrieve it the other day. It survived both crashes.

I had to put most of the toys outside. I told my kids they needed a bath to get my garage back.
No good places to sell around here. One flea market and I have no time. Thank You,
Tom

Wait that sentence doesn't work as intended.

Maybe sign at the corner to read "u pick it 25 cents a leaf"

dont turn your back on a dollar,

i'd do it as a experiment, to see what the buying base may be.

i'd be intrested to see if you had no problem with selling it,

Put it in a big pile and see what happens.

I wish I still lived in A town. I'd like to see your spread but 4 hours each way is a bit much for me now.How far off I-84 (or 80) is your patch?
I vote for splitting and stacking wood.

i like the way, you can easilly walk under the crop,

and if needed, be, a heat sorce could be placed under it, and heat rises, so wheres it going,?

right where it needs to be, in your crop,

I do 5 cords a year I did about 2 1/2 so far this year and I do not think I can do any more due to my back.
sucks buying oil if the solar is not getting enough heat.
