Why do you care if anyone notices? It isn't illegal to grow tobacco for
your own consumption AFAIK. I grew some, Lo! these many years ago, and
had my Mom roll me some seegars. She was a cigar maker back in the early
1920's. Things made me cough so bad I couldn't smoke them. You gonna
have to spray the hell out of them or they will attract tobacco
hornworms to your garden. In laws place in Southern MD was totally
surrounded by tobacco fields back in the fifties and sixties and all the
baccy farmers sprayed almost daily to keep the bugs down.

Cuz the 2 females I live with won't approve of the tobacco. But I also
don't think they'll notice.

It's legal to grow up to someting like 1/4 acre of tobacco for home use.
I don't know what the legal limit really is, I just know I'll be *way*
under it.

I don't even smoke, but making homemade cigars is a dying skill and I'm
a sucker for stuff like that. One box of seegars should last me for
several decades.

The 'baccy is for making your own pesticide, isn't it? Except on tomatoes &
peppers. Right.
Edrena, really enjoying some of my own basil pesto I put up last spring in the
freezer. It's still good. I did seal these little jars with the foodsaver tho.


I put mine up in vac bags Edrena, works real good and they store flat.
