Better late than never !!
I begging my seedlings on the third week of April, I then transplant them in 72 cell tray 4 weeks latter and finally put them in the garden in the first week of june.
I got 30 Rose Quesnel, 30 Petit Canadien, 15 Parfum d’Italie and 15 Little Dutch.
The begging was hard, nothing wanted to stay alive/strong in the garden. Almost no root development in any vegetables nor in tobacco. I admit, I did a pretty big mistake… I throw all my wood ash in the gardent for the whole winter (maybe 75 pounds in a 1000 sq ft gardent) that’s a lot of ash and a lot of potential alkalinity. More than that, I also put around 8 inches of uncomposted wood chip (some guy said it would help my clay soil) maybe it’ll help in 2-3 year. By chance I also put a freaking lot of manure (cow/pig/poultry/horse) to help decomposed all the wood chip.
After that my Rose Quesnel add start to bloom almost one week after transplanting (4-6 leaves development) I read somewhere that cutting the whole plant to only let one sucker taking the place of the whole plant could retarded blooming with around 50% of a normal yield.
Rest of the tobacco is doing good so far Petit Canadien, Rose Quesnel sucker and Little Dutch also start blooming.
I’m also working on a Sandy garden for next year for all root veggies, potatoes, corn, and Harrow Velvet Burley, Virginia Bright Leaf, Parfum D’Italie, Little Dutch, Petit Canadien, Rose Quesnel.
