2010 tobacco season is over, ramping up for 2011

Well my first year at growing tobacco was very successful, I only had 30 plants, but I got a double-crop because I left the roots after the first harvest and they produced more leaf from the suckers that were left to grow. Not near as much as the first growth, but made up for losses from my experiments in curing.

I've gathered up a lot of various strains and varieties from friends and will have 20+ varieties to grow next year.

The new growing area will be 60 x 130 feet and I figure I'll be able to get 800+ plants (average 50 plants of each variety)

A big thanks to the folks at howtogrowtobacco.com I learned a lot about tobacco this year and a special thanks to Lonnie, Mark, Bob and Jack for all their valuable replies to my hundreds of questions.

2011 should be a bumper-crop year
