I planted all Tennessee burley a friend gave me. I started them about mid feb of last year. I had a 100% germination rate, I think I shocked all 50 of the plants I had. I had to move them, I beleive this is what killed them. I tried different kinds of tobacco through the spring but had no lucky. I will be starting more this feb. I will try to answer any questions the best I can, or provide links to answer them. I hope perhaps somebody will find this useful.
