Man..it sure LOOKED like a tabocco leaf.

ANd yes, they do grow fast and tall.

It's been awhile since I grew some but if I recall correctly then you should be getting alot of bees soon.

Not sure...probably can for personnal use.

But like outher smokable plants I belief they must be all female.

Not picking on you (well, maybe a little bit), but again no. Lemme dig up a photo or two.

I've grown giant sunflowers before.

The flowers are the size of a frisbee and when they died, I cut the flower off and tied it to my fence. The birds love pecking the seeds out.

Good plan.

I grew some huge sunflowers in my yard a couple years back. I ended up eating a lot of the seeds.

Almost mature tobacco. Can't remember variety.

I've got a couple of other good photos, but I can't find them at the moment.

With the end of the quota system, I don't see why not.

Very labor intensive though. And all you would have to grow is less than a 1/4 acre to make a buttload of cigarettes.

Might not taste the same though, as cigarettes are made from blends.

You soil looks way saturated.

And weed for Christ's sake...they are stealing nutrients from your plants!

Yeah soil is pretty saturated but those arent weeds those are flowers of some sort that just sprouted.. I thought since I live in a rental that I would just plant tons of things in the backyard and see how they would grow .
I think I threw down some wildflower mixture there ..

Posted: 5/13/2005 10:43:41 AM EDT

[#28]

Well, those other plants will still take away nuitrients.

Either pull them or use miraclegrow.

Trust me, the money is worth it your plants will be twice as big because your soil don't look all that great.
