I was already worried about only starting my seeds 2 weeks ago so you're making me feel a bit better about it lol.
What time do you usually start seeds here in Germany? I read online that mid-april is good around here but that sounds kind of late to me.

In northern Germany, where I am, tomatoes go in the ground May 15. That’s the date for tobacco, technically, but I believe the cold soil temperature caused some early flowering for me, last year.
Middle of march would be the industry standard 2 months seedling nursery stage.
Rusticas usually take about one month.
That’s what I’ve done before.
I have strong lights for seed starting now, but this year I’m going to try germination indoors, and seedling stages in my greenhouse. It just now got warm enough to keep plants alive in there.
This has been a very cold spring, which means a later start, but, fewer ticks in the forest.

Lost a tray of Virginia Gold.
(Crashed during transit to the greenhouse)
Thinned out Izmir seedlings, and replanted the empty tray with them, giving me 2 trays of Izmir.
Also started a tray of Little Dutch.

Ouch. Burning is usually the plan for tobacco but crashing isn't part of the process afaik. Maybe some crumbling or slicing at some point.

Beautiful place
Big pot inhabitant this year: Little Dutch.
Potted up 9 Little Dutch into round pots and placed them off the balcony.
Either the weather or a Gardner broke off an in-ground Samsun Maden- replaced with Little Dutch.

On 19 June I seeded two pots with Baffra Basma- just sprouted this morning, so I transferred 12 to a 12-pack seed tray, and kept 2 in the main seed pots.
Probably going to try for seed on some of these.
The variety is very similar to Xanthi, but the aroma from the leaf is stronger.
This is also how small I transplant my seedlings- it’s easier to handle them, early, as there are fewer roots to break.
