Planting My Own Tobacco: The Beginning

My seeds have arrived from Victory Seeds and its time to start growing my tobacco. If all goes well I will harvest some yellow Virginia tobacco for pipe and cigar smoking this fall.

The seeds arrived in a little bag with what looks like hundreds of tiny seeds inside. I sprinkled the entire batch onto damp soil and will keep the soil damp and warm on my sunny back porch for two weeks until, hopefully, I will see some sprouts pop up. I will thin them out and continue to grow them until about 4 inches tall. I'll report from that point if all goes well!
