Tobacco

Oh very funny Ziggy! It still doesn't answer why I couldn't upload it and my file says it is 5mg not 8mg. So why the difference? I wondered if I had set my camera wrong but it doesn't make sense when I uplifted the macrame file afterwards and also one of Amber on the macrame file too. Just doesn't add up!

 

That would be an Ecumenical matter.

Lovely plants though

 

Here we are Moyra

 

blimey!! i hope they are 1mm pots moyra how did ya get them that size??
Zig is fast with his wit thou sometimes,cracks me up

 

I think the secret was that I started them off very early and for the first few weeks we used to lift the lid on one of Steve's fish tanks and put them in there and they had the benefit of the lighting he has in there and the warmth of course so they did well. Now the poor little dears are finding it harder out in the cold greenhouse but I do wrap them in fleece at night no matter whether it is frosty or not they are nice and cosy!

 

Thanks Aesculus for doing that for me. I shall have to look at my camera to see if I can take smaller pictures to simplify matters.

 

I remember some cigarettes called 'Passing Cloud' Rather scented things and
also 'De Ritz Minor' in a brilliant purple packet. As teenagers we used to roll
dried feverfew leaves and smoke them. Probably not very good for us

It's very interesting to see all these tobacco plants.
I look forward to hearing success stories

Can you still get those little machines to make roll-ups?


,

 

Yes jordie,i use one

 

I gave up smoking in August 2004, but this thread has made me want a roll up

 

Gardeners Corner in no way wishes to encourage smoking, this thread is purely to discuss the growing of Tobacco by those members who are fed up of being ripped off by the conglomerate producers and of course, hobby growers

 

Reading this thread has encouraged me to take the plunge and order some seeds from ebay.I just hope i am not too late to start this year.

 

i loved snuff used to have a pinch of Granddad he was a Minor thanks for the trip down memmory lane HaryS Off to get some Snuff in the Morning :WINK1:

 

Hows everyones plants doing??? my rustica seem to growing faster than virginia and burley hampton,hopefully with some sunshine they will catch up to eachother x

 

Mine are putting on top growth but very little root growth.



Wondering how they are getting their nutrients
