These are pretty shitty pictures but I'll post them anyway.
This load and another one like it I dumped at the bottom of the hill to make a compost pile.

My cousin installed the electric lift on the truck. It works really slick.

Cleaning out the barn where the cows are fed. I used the upper, newer stuff for my compost pile. The bottom 2 yr. old stuff went into the patch. My hunting buddy's farm.

The manure and hay for my patch. The hay is very rotten and the manure is two year old stuff. I will spread it over the patch tomorrow and till it in when it's all dry. Then I'll till it one more time right before I plant.

Will you be bagging any seed there this year knucks? there's a couple of varieties that I think I'd trade for.

Yes, I'll be bagging plants of each variety. I'm looking forward to this years seed swapping.

Last year you say, that you like my car. Are you ready to swap? I'm in love in yours. This is exactly what I need. Your cousin is king.
About your patch. This is going to be full house of tobacco. You will at least double the size of last years crop. Bravo...

I got the manure spread and worked in with the cultivator. Now I'm just waiting for the ground to dry out to use the tiller and powder it up good. I hope to haul some horse manure next week for my compost pile.

Had a bit of play this afternoon , had to fix ANOTHER flat tire on my bike.When leavin it to the bikeshop it lasted 2 days.
Now I changed both tyre and tube on the rear wheel , got the jitters thinking I wasn't gonna be able to do it cause of the gearwire and stuff , but I did.

It's supposed to rain tonight so I turned in the manure and hay and pulled up more rocks. The rain will expose the rocks so I can pick them out of the patch. I don't want to dull the tiller blades so I'm turning it with the cultivator before each rain and getting the rocks out. When I've gotten out all the rocks I can find I'll switch to the tiller and give it a good mixing up, then I'll till it one last time the day before I plant.

Side view of all the starts in the front room of the basement. Started Feb. 24.

Front view of the two flats on the left. I'm using the little plastic markers, and I've put 1/2" masking tape on them to write on so I can peel off the tape and reuse the markers. This is my third use of the same markers. As long as you keep them out of direct sunlight they last a long time. Sunlight makes them brittle and they will break to pieces after one season.

I got even crazier and started another flat in the back room. Bitlis, N7371 Burley, Samsun-Canik, Adiyaman, Visoka Marula, 6 more Duzce, and 40 Izmir. These were started March 2.

Looks great Knucks. Looking forward to watching your grow. A number of strains I haven't seen or read about. And the plot is looking good too. Man, I just got to thinking. You can fish and look at your beauties! Now that's not fair, lol. This year you can smoke your own leaf, fish and turn around and peak at the new crop... Nice.
