Hi all
This year will grow Virginia Gold, Shirey (Dark VA), Harrow Velvet Burley, Little Yellow and some Basma. Nothing serious like acreage or a field.... just planting in the backyard with the existing garden beds to see how it turns out. I've enjoyed whole leaf tobacco so this is a natural progression. Grew some rustica years back with disappointing results due to inexperience and harvest timing and curing.
Here's the seedling farm started in March just sitting in the window sill. I have an HID lamp but decided to just go natural light for now.
I've got so many seedlings I think I will plant some in the local forest and give them away to find new homes.
