The whole deal went really well.
I gathered up some leaves, soaked them and experienced how to make them pliable. Some of my plants were huge.
I gathered a quart bag full of open pollinated seed so that I can select for my own varietal, and make my own strain that does well here and resists bugs.
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!!!
