Hello everyone:
Haven't been active since I ordered my seeds and began the season back in February but here I am to share my experience (or lack thereof ) with the FTT fam.
My original plan was 8 plants of 6 varieties including little dutch, Dominican olor, Comstock spanish, havana 608, cuban criollo, and of course Vuelta abajo. I ordered from northwoodsseeds as per everyone's recommendations with the exception of the criollo and Vuelta abajo I had left over from last year.
I had fair success with the little ones and ended up with at least 6 of each variety with all but just a few plants making it into the ground on April 25th. I've weeded and aerated the patch a few times since and I'll be putting the last stragglers in the ground probably next week sometime.
No pictures just yet but I'll be sure to grab a few shots to show off soon.
This is my second year doing this with a not-totally-disastrous but rushed last season. I'm happy to have my plants on time this year and I am very excited for the varieties I have going.
If anyone has input on the varieties I chose feel free to speak up.
I also should mention I only smoke cigars and that is the intended use for all my tobacco.
Hope everyone has a great season filled with big leaves!
