Today 42 days since sowing, 31 days since transplanting to plug tray.
There were 80 plants this year, 50 varieties.

Today two weeks (14 days) since transplanting
(56 days since sowing and 45 days since transplanting to plug tray)
So far I have avoided strong winds or storms, but have had a couple of heavy hailstorms and three miserable crows tearing leaves.
Now I notice that the plants are starting to gain speed in height and width, so much so that I see a difference from day to day.
This year I have planted a lot of peas between and around the plants as a test, (peas are nitrogen-fixing), so I hope that the tobacco plants can absorb nitrogen from them.
I drove clean between the rows with the tiller yesterday, and have not yet had to water, nor have I added any nutrients yet.

I tried planting peas this year but the deer ate them down to the ground. Good luck with yours.
The deer don't have to go far to get to my garden. They sleep by day in the thicket on the other side of the fence of my property. I often scare them from their slumber when I walk past.
I'm thinking I ought to find a way to increase the protein in my diet.

To protect a small plot of edible peas, encircle them with a piece of simple fencing, then wrap the exterior of the fence with bird netting.

Same here! I planted a few Fava beans next to one of my Corojo just to see if it makes any difference.
