Chicken, I know hurricane season starts in june but you'll have your first crop cured before a hurricane hits you, just worry about that second planting. It seems those tropical depressions dump more rain than the hurricanes.

my crop is looking good, my leaves are yellowing up nicely,

i was out there today, and i have some ripe leaves to pick,

 

[BarG]

Today my entire tobacco patch is completely covered in worm castings, probably due to a good soaking rain. Thats probably a good sign for something about the soil. There be worm sign. I'm surprised I didn't see many while preparing for planting.

 

[Chicken]

those are good worms, dont mistake them for hornworms,,,

it's funny how a hornworm dies, still bit into the plant, but hanging dead,

i got a lot of hanging worms right now,,, did me some sprayin, 2 days ago<

 

[BarG]

One of my burley plants shot up 8" since yesterday. They all a good grow spurt after a good soaking rain. I hope everybody who needs rain gets some soon.

Send it on up....pretty please!

[Field of dreams] A good success rate for transplants this year. much better than I expected.

To date I haven't added anything since planting,[ fertilizer or insect control ]
I haven't sprayed with BT yet, But will at some point.
Last year I was plagued with a looper caterpillar this year its hornworms getting picked off by hand for the time being.

Plants to right are bursa home grown transpants

Hey Chicken, We've had our discussions on terminology. Perhaps we should call your fertilizer "chicken castings"?

Lol, theres no way that could be misconstrued for "POOP"

I may just have to edit that post in honor of Chicken and call them Worm Poops!

 

[workhorse_01]

I have worm,chicken, and raggit , pelletized fert.

 

[Rayshields]

I ain't shot a raggit forever.

 

[johnlee1933]

Not to worry. I understand they taste worse than chicken.
