Brown Thumbs 2nd attempt 2013

[Fisherman]

If that vehicle in the photo is full size that is one hella plot!

 

[Chicken]

those are some long rows,

 

[Brown Thumb]

The rows are 220 ft. long. 100 plants each @ 2.ft.
That is my Cub Cadet 7260 in the pic. mid sized tractor
I try not to look down the rows when planting ect. otherwise it takes forever to get to the end.

 

[Brown Thumb]

Off to a slow start this year I do not know if all the rain stunted them or my stupidity of not doing a soil test and adding horse crap Like I do every year. The veggy garden is doing good makes me wonder. sorry about the crappy pics but I got a smartphone and i am too dumb to figure it out. I never had a cell phone until a couple months ago.

Nothin wrong with the pictures and the Tobacco looks good they might pop yet some of mine did that than all of a sudden whoom!

 

[DGBAMA]

Looking good. That patch would be the equivalent of my while yard if I did not live on the side of a mountain.

 

[DGBAMA]

Grass between the rows looks great too....not "brown"at all.

 

[grgfinney]

they might still end up to be monsters like you had last year,i,m smoking what i picked last year at your place now

 

[Boboro]

I like the grow with grass. I think they grow well together.

 

[Knucklehead]

The Izmirs are looking real good. There's plenty of time for a growth spurt. The rain will definitely stunt them though.

 

[chillardbee]

Beautiful. Like the others siad, They can surprise you in how much they can grow in even just 2 weeks time. But even if they didn't, what they lack in size you made up for in numbers.

Harvest Time, First load Of Va 309. These plants only grew to 3 to 4 ft. tall half the size of last year.
Small leaf 18 to 24 in. yielded approx. 1000 leaf for 100 plants

 

[leverhead]

I like your leaf basket! Very nice looking patch also!

 

[Brown Thumb]

Thanks Leverhead.
Havana harvest, type unknown ebay buy last year. Grew twice the size last year also. Approx 1000 leaves out of 100 plants

It should be this size

But ended up this size

About time I got some help. He is a good Kid, I hope he stays that way. Almost a straight A Student and has not missed a day of school in Three Years. Hard to believe he is my kid

 

[Fisherman]

Very nice crop. Good to know there are good kids out there still too

 

[AmaxB]

Beautiful plants / nice shop and the decoration really gives it life...Ya can smell your tobacco while doing all those important things like drinking a cold one and watching it change color.

 

[Knucklehead]

Another great crop. You da man!

 

[Brown Thumb]

LOL. Same here. I'm just glad they started back growing. Mine got about 4' tall eventually. I was scared they were going to bud at 18" so I'm counting my blessings.

 

[Brown Thumb]

It is nice to finally hang some large leaf. The garage is starting to fill up. I can fit about another 6000 leaf. I wish some stems would dry up.
catterton grew to approx 4 to 5 ft 30 in. leaves.
