Beautiful YTB, J!

It makes for a good stand-alone, but some turkish blended in is even better.

It looks like you could pick some more, be sure to get the stems good and dry before you put them up for storage.

The Gro, Harvest and curing are turning out super for you.
You are a Pro now. Now where is the salsa.

j, u r doing very well.
If stems r dried...
early one morning, when humidity is high, take 'em down and pack 'em away in a paper bag or cardboard box.
Take that indoors where the temp/humidity is more stable.
Sample a leaf from each lot every 3 months.
u will learn the benefits of aging.
Best

It's been hot here. I am waiting for it to get cooler this week and pick some more.

Thanks BT, I think I am going to make some sauce with the tomatoes, seeing how I got more plum tomatoes than expected. I have made two quarts of salsa so far, and they are already gone.

Imagine that! In Texas?

The last couple of "cold" fronts didn't make it to Houston.

Well, AZ just got rain for the second straight day. Just when I introduced my "Fall grow" outside.

Is there a thread on how to grow suckers? Do you remove them from the stalk and replant? Or do you leave them on the stalk?

 

[leverhead]

Pick out the best looking low sucker, cut/break the other suckers off and cut the old stalk above the sucker that you want to keep. The sucker will become a "new" plant that already has a full root system.

Thanks leverhead.

When I stalk harvest I leave about 10" of stalk above ground. In a couple weeks, the "stumps" have several suckers, just remove all but the strongest one. Some varieties do better at this than others, nearly every one of my havannas regrew last year; but only a couple of my YTB. Silver River was so late finishing, I did not even get to try a regrow.
