PVH2254 flue cure type

[Libsk8r1]

I was recently gifted this guide to flue curing and a container of pellatized PVH2254. I’m gonna try em our next year cus I feel like this was really generous and I’ve also never tried growing pelletized seed so think it’ll be interesting.

Has anyone tried this variety before?

Here is what I find on the hybrid variety PVH 2254:

From the info in the catalog, that variety shows 140 days from transplant to full harvest. It had the second longest days to harvest in the catalog. I know nothing about the length of your season in Oregon, but I thought I would point that out,

Isn't Oregon one of those places like the UK where they actually talk about "winter gardening"?

I don’t know, I don’t get out much.

140 days is a long time. But since PVH2254 is a flue-cure variety, shed-curing in the late season isn't an issue--assuming you intend to flue-cure it.

Depends on which zone in Oregon it’s actually really diverse here in boring our growing season is a bit longer than Portland and Gresham
