Taking my first shot at growing tobacco.

I had an absolute blast with the whole affair, and plan to work with the tobacco even more next year when I have more time to devote to it.
I have seed left from last year's plants so that I can cross back in if necessary some years down the line.
The whole process is something I plan to spend years on, and I absolutely love the plants, so it's going to be a joy.
Thanks for asking, guys!!!

Are you hanging your crop? If so what's next and can we get pics? I think we're all intrigued.
