[Michibacy]

Been awhile since I was here, plants are growing well, I'll update with a list later this evening.

Glad to see you back and growing just got done putting mine into cups they were outgrowing the trays

 

[DGBAMA]

Looks like a good start. I would worry a bit about the varieties mixing up near those dividers.

 

[Brown Thumb]

Good to see you around again, I was wondering where you went.
Looks like you are off to a Good Start, Rock and Roll. Good Luck this year.

I used a paper funnel to discharge the seeds, and I only picked plants from the center of the row, so hopefully that means no varietal cross over.

thanks for the warm welcome back!

 

[Michibacy]

Plants are in the ground around 160 of them. around 40 of which are Xanthi Yaka, the rest are yellow twist bud, PA red, white stem orinico, Florida sumatra, kelley burley,

[Michibacy]

Thanks Bob! I recruited my ma, step dad and wife to help plant them all. Lots of work for sure with nothing but garden shovels!

 

[grgfinney]

Off to a good start, I think we are in for a better season than last year for weather

 

[Michibacy]

Well here are some new pictures. Things are growing quite well. I'm working on making a portable drying shed, this is at a remote location from my house so I need the ability to up and move the shed when the time comes.

...portable drying shed, ... to up and move the shed when the time comes.

I think Chicken has solved that problem already.

I don't have an unused trailer if that's what you are referring to

 

[deluxestogie]

You might look into a very affordable, gutted travel trailer.

Looks good! I was up in MI this past weekend (MI native here) and a friend, to whom I was describing the cigar rolling process, wondered if tobacco will grow in MI. I said sure, it will grow anywhere that crops grow. Now we have proof
