Maybe a neighbor will appreciate you taking the spotlight so that they can get a good crop in. It's the thought that counts for holiday gift giving.

I don't know, but I've been told it's good for pain. Somebody's got to be on point.
I got that one covered. A buddy has a FU back (7 surgeries) He uses it once a day at bedtime to sleep. He HATES pain killers. Having had back problems I have a hard time imagining all the time back pain and no sleep without help.

Tizanadine hcl 4mg. Generic for zanaflex(zanex & flexeril) = Nighty night you can't fight it, it closes. You're eyes for you, & if you open them up they burn.

The plants I transplanted in to larger cups have almost doubled in size. I may be planting this weekend (woo hoo). All you guys with the plants in the ground are driving me crazy. I'm fighting the urge to plant mine they need one more week like this. Chicken asked me why buy plants when I have so many? partly because I can have some in the ground to offset the really nice grow blogs y'all have been writing. It's like drinking a Budweiser when you don't have a mic. light.

One thing I regret this year is planting my plants too young. The insects had a a field day right off the bat. I didn't lose any, but they just seemed to take forever to get going.

Dont it drive you nuts reading how well the northerners are doing? and at the same time I'm happy for them. I learned not to look at them until they put down roots. Another thing i've learned is to transplant to clear plastic cups. You can see the roots move to the sides and then turn down. When they hit the bottom either move to a bigger cup or plant them in the ground, But it will help you see if the roots are spiraling. I want them roots going down as much as out. I think that tobacco likes it when the roots cant feel the bottom under it. I think this encourages it to grow on top also. I'm not 100% that any of this matters but my plants are growing much faster than last years.

i gotta agree, with you it seems like, when i plant them in the ground '' growth'' immediatlly follows,

I think it's because of the deeper cups giving room for that first root growth. Look at these since the other day.6.4.13.1.jpg6.4.13.2.jpg6.4.13.3.jpg6.4.13.4.jpg6.4.13.5.jpg6.4.13.6.jpg

Just Don't step on the fresh ones .
That poo reminds me that I have over 150 tons of it waiting to be cleaned out of my manure barn .
