Awesome pictures Pattyde, Out of curiosity how big is the plot you guys are planting on? It looks pretty big.

The plot is the right word? Forgive me, I didn't know that meaning for the word

A plot of land is a body of land sectioned off for a specific use Philippe. Forgive us down home country folk... Lol. That will be allot of tobacco don't you think?

We call ours a field because it really is a alfalfa field. We took approx. 100' x 25-30' section from it for the tobacco. We can plant 100 plants in each row there are 10 rows. We lost 1/3 of the crop to having to stay in the little cups indoors too long (waiting for outside weather) So if we plant again next year we will plant a month or two later.

Don, they say the average smoker smokes 17 lbs. per year, so that is all that you would need to grow for yourself. Couldn't tell you how many plants that is lol You can check for answers over at the forum where the free seeds come from. It is very large and has many seasoned growers with tips etc. They probably even know the answer to your question about being taxed if non commercial.

One of the videos says that 250 plants is enough for two smokers (that smoke an average pack a day) 1 year supply.

8-4 Today I almost finished weeding my smaller contained area and harvested 49 bottom leaves. Posted new pictures to album

Well the first 20 harvested bundle of bottom leaves have done their metamorphosis and now smell like tobacco! At this point they may be shredded and smoked without aging but are said to be bitter and a bit harsh. So, next will be stacks of 20 piled on top of each other (when others are ready) and left to age in a dry ventilated out of the sun area.
