Had a very hot humid Labor Day weekend. The tobacco barn showed good results as far as color curing - yellowing of a good bit of leaf. Still have some of the big leaf varieties just start mottling. Just a few not doing anything yet, still very green but the ones that were green a long time from the 2nd priming are finally going yellow ,just slowly. Some even went through yellow to brown already . The aroma coming from the barn when I open the doors every morning is just wonderful. Looking at my Machu Picchu Havana and Vuelta Abajo....what beautiful brown leaf it is becoming. The color is so rich , dark and even across the leaf . The main midribs are still yellow but I'm leaving it hanging until that browns out. Today is only predicting 79*F and quite cloudy so I will open the doors for air exchange and a thorough leaf inspection, then do a major cleanup of the garden and cut grass. I have a couple sources of garden soil fill to check out today too.
Tomorrow is my sons 19th birthday and I plan to spend all day with him ,take him to the (Dekalb) county fair a couple counties away as is our tradition. So not much other stuff going to happen. Just good father/son quality time.
