My second attempt at growing for size rather than numbers of plants. I'm thinking that fewer plants (By fewer I mean 100 or 120) rather than the 360 or 500, means a couple of things.
First, I'll be able to pay more attention to each plant. Second, I won't spent as much time in the care and harvesting of the plants. And third, more sun light for the plants and for me to move around in. Also, I will only be growing only a few varieties that have yet to be determined. My thinking is 3 fluecured, 2 burley, 2 dark air, and 3 oriental varieties.
This winter may not of been the coldest but it has been the longest duration of cold spells we've had in my recollection of the past 30 years with the most snow as well. during one break in the weather, I started a massive compost pile consisting if 18 bales of timothy, 6 bails of alfalfa, and 400 pounds of chicken shite. The pile at one point was covered by snow except for areas on the top that was steaming giving it a vesuvius look about it. I haven't turned it yet but soon.
I haven't done much else out in the garden. Last years stalks are still out there standing like shadowy husks of the stark reminder of last years glories. I'm still planning about an idea for growing a few plants out in my bee yards but I'm not committing to that just yet and will depend on my time available.
I posted in my former grow log about last years harvest and my rolling cigs. I've already rolled about 14000 as in fourteen thousand cigarettes in a 3 week time span and I'm considering getting a small filtered pipe for next year. The other option would be to buy an out right automatic rolling machine.
Anyway, Thats that. Here's to a good year, good health and good company. Cheers.
