Hey Gents,
We all know that someone can grow their own vegetables or raise their own chickens, but for some reason I think it never seems to occur to smokers that we can grow our own tobacco. I've been watching and reading a lot about growing tobacco for the last year, and finally decided to pull the trigger on some seeds. I think I'm going to turn this into a summer experiment. I ordered some Virginia Gold and some Perique that I am going to try and grow for fun. Going to put my germination set-up together this weekend in my Florida room, and set up some plots in my yard for transplanting time. I have most things together, but still need to pick up some seed potting mix and some grow lamps.
Honestly, I am having realistic expectations. I don't expect to be making some amazing blend, and have everything be perfect. Who knows though? Maybe I'll surprise myself. I'll post some pictures when I get everything put together, and will post pictures at various stages. I'm really excited to give this a go.
