I'm going to jump in here ahead of BAMA for a change. lol. For my seed grow outs last year, I grew four of each variety. I planted three of each variety and kept one back for backup. I didn't need a single backup. I think it's this world class Alabama soil. You know that's how Cuba got started didn't you? Our soil washed south in a really wet spring and ended up down in the gulf where there was already this big log jam. Well, that Alabama soil got hung up on that log jam and started forming an island. After a few years, voila! there's Cuba. Made entirely of good Alabama baccy soil. It's in the books, look it up. Alabama also grows the best Orientals in the world, ask Istanbulin, he can tell you.
Aaah! I did not realize that! Thanks for the history lesson. Hey, wait a minute. Are you sure that soil wasn't originally from Indiana and washed down to Alabama in the first place? All I have here is clay!
I really hope I don't need the backups either. I've had pretty good luck with tomatoes and peppers but don't know what to expect with the baccy.
