“I’m so glad that you’re growing tobacco! I’m sort of surprised that I haven’t had any requests for tobacco seed at work so far...but our Smoking Ban isn’t state-wide yet, though the Gov is slapping another $1.62 in taxes onto each pack this year.”
I’ve been thinking about planting some, even though no one in my family smokes. Figure if I learn how to cure it, it might make for a good trade item if things get really bad. I’ve got a seedpod from an old heirloom variety. It was given to me by an old Hopi gentleman who said his family had been tending the same patch for nearly 4000 years!
Any advice on growing it?
Never grew the stuff myself...but I really like your idea as using it as a bartering tool!
