Now's the time.
I would like to encourage any members in the US who have been thinking about growing tobacco, but have not taken the plunge, to send a PM to BigBonner. His plants are ready to go into the ground now. He's already done the tricky part for you (germinating the seed and creating healthy transplants). He ships Priority Mail, with a near 100% success rate.
Now all you have to do is put them in the ground like tomato transplants. And rumor has it that he includes extras for free. Nowhere else will you find so wide a selection of varieties ready to go. You can have your tobacco patch in the ground and growing by this weekend. The time window is closing.
If you're not sure what varieties to order, just ask Larry (BigBonner). He is a commercial grower, and can advise you. Just let him know what you want to produce (cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chew, snuff, snus) and how much room you can dedicate in your growing area.
Happy growing!
Bob
