When will you plant the two patches at your friends' house and the big one beside the white house? Your plants are looking very good. They are putting mine to shame.

exciting seeing everyone's grows take off. Might be a little hard to maintain those center ones once they get going. definitely wont have room to walk between them.

Today I put 28 tobacco plants on my last (fourth location). This is at my friends location.
7x Havana 38
5x Havana 425
12x Virginia Bright
4x Florida Sumatra

The soil was wet and heavy and I need to dig with forks to loosen it. Than I planted tobacco about 80 cm apart. 4 plants of Florida Sumatra was beautiful. I cross my fingers for nice weather and took few pictures:

Than I visit other location and found out that Burley is still yellow.

On my last visited location was everything OK. Tobacco beds are clean. No slugs, snails or other pests.

Damn Max! The second picture will get you yard of the month! When the Prilep gets some size, I'll expect to see more pictures. Very nice!

It is time to upgrade my pictures. Yesterday evening I watered my plants to be ready for morning shooting. Garden looks great after high temperatures last week. We have 30+(C.) for some time and today even 35 C. or more.

In the middle of tobacco bed are the biggest plants Virginia, Havana, Comstock spanish,...When I start two month ago with fertilizing I put on this place a lot of composted cow manure and I'm not shore now if I distributed it evenly on entire tobacco bed. It doesn't look so, or the other plants doesn't grow so fast. Behind the big tobacco bed I have beans and behind I have some shade grown tobaccos Dixie shade, Moonlight, Connecticut shade(left upper corner) I need to change those plants three times because snails eat them to the ground. I will wait for those two or three weeks longer.

I also find that Virginia Bright produce large amount of suckers. I believe that those are.

All plants start to grow quicker and I can see how they move. I just pray that storms won't bring any hail.

Here are some sorts of tobacco I grow and it's nice to see differences between strains.
