I just harvested a few leaves off my tobacco plants
I've been nurturing these bad boys since early spring. All grown from my own seed that I saved off of only one flower from last years plants. With tobacco a little goes a long way...
Dried flower, stem and seed. You can see I still have a tonne left from last year, I won't even need to let a tobacco plant go to flower this year!
It's hard to even see the seeds, can you believe such a small seed grows such a huge plant?
This was the tobacco in April. The seeds are so small that you don't even plant them. You just sprinkle them on top of soil and water them in. Once they start developing, like in the above photo, it is necessary to water them from the bottom only, allowing the water to soak up, if you spray the plants, even with a gentle mist, it's enough pressure to destroy them.
Do I have any smoke hating puritans in the house?
I made a video just for you!
I hope you all are having a wonderful day! My in-laws have the kids today down at the beach and I'm working like crazy out in the gardens, I'll show you tomorrow what I've gotten myself into, just thought I'd make a quick blog to show off my giant tobacco leaves, I'm sure Tarzan would approve...If you have any questions about growing tobacco feel free to ask!
Love your video, wish the elites would practice what they preach and just dinosaur themselves...
I get a notion that vaping is more dangerous than organic tobacco.... thoughts? Some ex-smoker I know who owns a shop swears by it, but breathing plastic (propylene glycol) can't be too good...
So far as I know, the depopulation movement started with Thomas Malthus in the early 19th century... That elitist shmuck actually preached that the world's resources would collapse under the weight of 1 billion occupants... Whatta loser! The insanity goes on today, but with certain highly concentrated population centers and a seven fold population, it's easier to dramatize things...
Thanks for not being a sheeple XD
Thomas Malthus was such a bastard. From At Home by Bill Bryson:
It's amazing how this genocidal maniac's ideas have swept into the mainstream and become a part of a classic liberal education. Did you know he published his essays anonymously? He didn't even have the courage to stand behind his arguments - probably because he knew he'd be rightfully hanged for them.
Props to @lyndsaybowes for calling out this kind of thinking for what it is.
@winstonalden thanks for the blast of info, these bastards are all psychotic at best...
Whatta loser for realz!
I loves ya you happy pencil pushin dolphin you <3 <3 <3 Thanks for watching my little rant, and thank YOU for not being ashleep!! :) :) Thank you for using logic and reason, and for not wanting to off half the world! :) :) :) Keep being amazing!! xoxoox
Ashleep - now that's a good one... XD
I was listening to an underground musician today and they summarized society as "robots controlled by vampires"... sounds about right to me :-r
Almost deserves a drawing ;D
The pencil pushing continues!
Noiiiiice I'd love to see that drawing! And I love that analogy too. Truly...the zombie apocalypse is here, it has been for a while, I find it amusing that some folks think it's a future event... LOL!!
Not quite underground, yet still an impressive piece of art:
My thoughts: Do what ever you want with your own body <3
And yeah, the vaping business has sure boomed, thanks to the "war on smoking" :) We all know who has their fingers in every pie though...
Especially if doing what I want with my own body involves goofy drawings and cracking wise! XD
Are you referring to this chap?
YESSSS!!! AHHAHAHA YES to BOTH! :D :D :D
Oh thank you so much for that rant! So sick of hearing those judgements! Not that I smoke, but if someone chooses to, what business is it of anyone else's? No I don't want to be standing around breathing it in, but neither do I want to be standing around breathing in car fumes. Legs are useful in this case.
I was actually just writing up some thoughts on this 'population problem ' people keep putting forward, but wasn't sure whether to post them. I might just take the plunge and post them anyway now!
Big love and hugs @minismallholding!! :) :) :)
😁 Thank you.
Good rant, Lindsay...
Not much logic left in the world these days, is there? ;)
Beautiful, huge tobacco leaves... Elephant ears!
😄😇😄
Logic/Reason are more rare than anything these days...thanks to good folks like YOU they are not yet extinct! Big Love I have for you @Creatr!! Surf ON!!!!
Thank you, dear. :D
I've got to get my flying car built so I can drop by for and visit you and your beautiful family and farm... ;)
Yes, please do hurry up and get on that! :) :) :)
Ha ha, you look so happy - well done.
Awwww, shucks... *blushes ... Thanks Kate!
Those are some huge leaves. I have been wondering how hard it is to grow tobacco. Now I know. Great post. I would be proud. 🐓🐓
Thank you Mother2Chicks! I just make sure that I over plant, I started off with 60 seedlings, and ooops killed all except 6 LOL!! As you can see though, 6 is plenty <3 <3 <3
A 10% production rate is not too bad. I have done much worse. Haha! I was very impressed with your 6. 🐓🐓
You go @lyndsaybowes!
I bought 5 or 6 different kinds of tobacco seed a few years ago but never got around to planting it. You know tobacco is actually a close relative of the tomato don't you? Even though I didn't grow tobacco I did get a new pipe recently and just enough tobacco to claim a
newrekindled vice.Oooh wow, no I didn't know it was a close relative to tomato! Wowee!! Thank you for the information that's definitely interesting...I'm trying to see the link between them. Let me know if you ever end up growing, and vice ON!
Don't plant the tobacco plants anywhere near the tomato plants, they share the same diseases, and tobacco mosaic virus can infect tomato plants. The same goes for potato plants, they are related to tomato plants. Also, if you can, skip a year before you plant tomato plants where you had tobacco plants before, for the same reason. Some of the diseases stay in the ground over the winter.
Thanks very much for the solid advice @amberyooper!
You're welcome!
Those are some pretty green leafs!!
"suicide your self"
LOL
That was awesome!
Aww, thank you so much for hearing my lil' rant and enjoying it I always love to be able to make people laugh.
Do you grow anything @acromott?
Still have some tobacco seeds in my seed box from ages ago. Wonder if they're still viable? They've been in the fridge for about 5 yrs. Hell, who knows. I went to vaping and it's worked for me for years now but I do enjoy the whif of a cig from someone somewhere when I catch it's scent.... :)
You should try to grow it, even if you don't smoke it, it's a beautiful fun plant to grow!
I think I will! If nothin' else for more seeds! Thanks! :)
Good luck <3 You got this!
I am going to do this next year. Cool post and video to go with it. You do know that the elite have made it so the majority of people rely on them for sustenance and literally want to make it so everyone beside them die right?
Yes, they'll want to keep a few slaves around that's for sure, because what fun would it be without people to order around and make do all their work for them. Humanity must rise up, I know things will have to get a lot worse before most people look outside of their comfortable bubbles, and see reality for what it is.
Yes we do have to rise up but we have to know our enemy and they do think that way, Everyone but them is expendable I think its going to take more than just peace & love to get rid of that ideology. just an opinion.
Continue your good work. You are a sympathic truth warrior! Hope you upload to Dtube soon when its working properly ! Fuck Fakebook, Youtube and the rest of the centralized brainwash platforms. Decentralize everything!
Hi @elgeko! I have been using Dtube for all my new vlogs and videos, this was an older video that's why the youtube link, and I agree, FUUUUUCK them. I have been having pretty good luck so far with DTube, I find all my videos upload very smoothly, if I compress them.
I'm happy to meet you, another awakened individual here on Steemit!! xoxoxo :) Much Love and thanks for the photo, I truly resonate with it, and we can create the world on the right if enough of us can work together!
