Well being the opposite of you Up and Overs (Thought I would get in before it was said I live Down Under) It is the first week of August so thought it was time to start of my seeds.
Many thanks to those that donated me some seeds was much appreciated.
I am trying straight into the multi seed pots with a small amount of seed to each pot and will thin out and thin out till down to strongest plant.
At the moment they are inside on the window ledge so can get light and keep them warm and out of the wind.
When they are growing will move them out into the hot house.
So I have 10 little pots of nearly everything.
Havana 503B
Thompson
Goose Creek Red
Little Dutch
Rot Front
Adonis
NB11
Reams 158
Prilep
Swar
PA Broadleaf
Japla
MD 609 Maryland
Izmir
Samsun
15 pots of Sumatra and Dominica
A whole heap in two big trays of the two we grew last season and my wife and I both liked as a cigarette tobacco Cow Boy Light and Golden Lite. These were the only varieties we had last year.
So If I get one plant per pot to get into the ground and to maturity I will be very happy lad.
Will have with a heap of the varieties we grew last year that we know we like 350 to 400 plants going in. Is going to look good
We easily grew and processed 6kg of tobacco for cigarettes this year and extremely pleased with out efforts.
The kiln I made up from scrap and a few bits from the internet has worked a charm and the shredder we got from Poland is working fantastic as is our tube loader the Powermatic 2.
The only other thing to add is we changed from cheap tubes for our cigarettes that we could buy here to import from the US the flash Vera Cruz in the white, brown and black and I don't know if its the colours as in mind over matter but they seem to smoke and taste much more pleasant.
Well some time in the coming months will either be posting how great it is going
or what a disaster I have had
Hope you have all had a great growing season and harvests
