Rick's First Try - Late Start

[Rickey60]

My first try before I met you guys and this great forum. I thought I would post my pictures, maybe good for a giggle. I only grew 8 burley plants from a seed marked "commercial burley" so I do not know exact type. At the time I was searching for a cigarette type and did not know what I was looking for. But thanks to all of you I do now and next year will be MUCH different.
Enjoy - Rick


Seedlings at the end of June

Don't feel bad. I had at least 6 varietys I tried to grow this year and circumstances caused for them being transplanted to late from starting seedlings. They were all spindly and never took off and became stunted. Theres always next year.

Looking just fine Rick. Wait til you grow and cure enough to start blending your own. You'll never go back.

looks good,

only thing i'd suggest is when your seedlings are so young, to use a less course blend of potting soil,

i start my seeds, on a bed of pure, vermiculite,

a small seed, can travel in the crevace, of that couse soil, and never germinate,
