And that's a wrap... done gardening, on my own terms this time. Feels good. https://i.nostr.build/BBzKX2RiKoCt1vt7.jpg
I do still have some beans drying on the stalks, tobacco yellowing & a stubborn basil that just won't die. No complaints there. The tobacco will probably get hung a little greener than what my reading suggests, but that just means bitter, novice-rolled cigars for Christmas gifts. Not my problem 😅
Tobacco!!? Never grown it before.
This is only my second year. First was a failure. I think I ordered mosaic tainted seeds. They got sick & ended up contaminating a huge portion of the garden.
This year has gone well. It's really easy to grow. I'm looking forward to processing it.
I am suddenly very interested in this.
Hey @yarnlady you ever think of growing yer own?
I saw maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsvyv8d6dx2tjp33069j2kq2mx7xage6w2upyzvxl4pcegt3t22wyspzfmhxue69uhhxct5wdskwefw0puh5tcpypmhxue69uhkzurvv93k26tww35x2um4dchxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcm86g4h talking about growing tobacco or someone else and I was thinking it would be fun 😂🤷♀️.
All I know is that a homegrown tomato tastes 100% better than store bought
😅 it's been interesting & super easy. I'll get you some seed links tomorrow

This was where I ordered the seeds.

Last year, I ordered some from a rando on ebay... that was a terrible idea lol. I had no clue tobacco was mosaic virus carrier & I don't think the seed dealer knew that either 😅
Incredible work
Thanks! It's been a fun season
Your carrots are so much nicer than what I have managed
Carrots love deep wicking containers... that's the trick 😊
I've heard that lying the leaves flat & covered between 2 towels will yellow them. Aired daily.
Oooh... I'd be willing to give that a go.
Love this - also love the idea of growing your own tobacco plants & making cigars as gifts, that's awesome 👌
