My tobacco is loving this squirrelly weather, especially the ones in my wife's flower garden that I sneak in every year, even after she says "Don't even think about it!" Last year I had two hit 11 feet in height. Not normal for tobacco and I only whack them once with Osmocote 14-14-14.

Just curious. What do you do with the tobacco? Do you dry it, process it and smoke it?

I hope you’ve gone to your township and had your property rezoned agriculture. Very impressive crop.
