With work and all, I had not had much chance to check in here. Every evening I have been busy getting the ground ready, where I can plant my tobbacos, as the start getting big enough, now they finally are, about ( 6 weeks) , I think. The rustic is what I had planted first, and I lost a lot of them, I guess trying to transplant to soon.
It was just this last weekend, I started some others, "Bursa", they are sprouting now, and started some "little dutch" seeds today, hopefully now these will do a little better then the rustica did, now I know some things I didn;t realize before. MOST IMPORTANT, "be patient", once the plants got big enough, they seem to be taking the transplanting ok. However on the other hand, the area I had started the seeds in, turned out not to be big enough, so I had to take some plants out, and put them somewhere, I did put some in small styrofoam cups, but ran out of cups, and actually a lot of those died too, the other that I put in cups, just don't seem to be growing very much. the ones I kept in the wheel barrow, really started to take off, especially when they had more space, maybe I will post some photos of the "biggest" ones, tomorrow. Any way, hope every one else is doing ok, and I just wanted to say hi, I am tired now, and going to heat up my dinner, then sleep,..
The wearther has been terrible here, it gets warm, but then cold at night, and windy, the wind dries everything out real bad,..we did get a couple of light "showers", but after they passed, more cold, fortunately nothing frooze,but a couple of nights were very close to freezing, this is very unusual for us , here, this time if year.
